A Clark educator leads a close examination and in-depth discussion around the outdoor sculpture Bana Yiriw ni Shi Folow (Trees and Seeds of Life) by artist Aboubakar Fofana. The artist, who has redefined and reinvigorated West African indigo dying techniques, includes spirals of handwoven, hand-dyed cloth made from plants grown on his farm in Mali in his sculpture, a "tree of life." Through guided conversation and reflection, participants consider how Fofana's work is in active dialogue with the Clark's natural environment.
