Summary:
The videorecording "Togu na and Check: Change and Continuity in the Art of Mali", which documents two forms of art of the Dogon and Bamana peoples in Mali, West Africa, in 1989.
Scope and Contents:
The videorecording "Togu na and Check: Change and Continuity in the Art of Mali", which documents two forms of art of the Dogon and Bamana peoples in Mali, West Africa, in 1989. Accompanying text describes that the film "explores two forms of art in present-day Mali, West Africa. For the Dogon peoples, the meeting house, or toguna, is the centerpiece of each village. Men gather to discuss matters involving the entire community. Its massive millet-stalk roof is supported by columns masterfully sculpted with figures in high relief. The Bamana peoples have developed a unique form of communal theater, called cheko. The principal actors in cheko performances are colorful, animated puppets. Some of these puppets are small enough to be manipulated by hand. Others tower above the rooftops of the village and require two or more people to move them. These fascinating Dogon and Bamana works of art depict both traditional and contemporary themes. They vividly show how art continues to evolve in Africa today."

"Bamana village architecture is dominated by extended family compounds (douw) which in turn are subdivided into individual households known as gouaw. In the eastern Bamana country, these architectural units are separated by mud brick walls five feet and higher in height and by the sides of buildings. In the same area, narrow common alleys traverse villages in a tortuous manner, and eventually lead in and out of them. In the western and southern Bamana country, houses are usually round with thatch roofs, and mud brick walls are less common. However, in recent years, rectangular mud brick construction has been increasingly adopted in this area."
