The malian artist talks about his work Faraw ka taama, exhibited in the 20th Contemporary Art Festival Sesc_Videobrasil. Commanded by a boy’s whip, stones pile up on Markala Bridge, erected with forced labor and at the cost of many lives during French colonial rule in Mali. Using animation techniques to portray animism, the film blends legend and history and pays homage to the victims of the enterprise. The artist states: "Here the animation is what narrates the animism; narrates these past and fantastic stories."
