The Tourism and Culture minister was accompanied by senior government officials, Momodou Joof, the director of the National Centre for Arts and Culture (NCAC), among others. In addition, the Women's Museum hosted an International Women Arts Exhibition held from the 8th to the 16th of March 2010. This rare exhibition brought together four top women artists from the Federal Republic of Germany and a total of 22 renowned artists sent in their products for exhibition at the museum.
The Arts and Culture desk officer last week made a short visit to the Mama Africa Art Gallery and was taken on a conducted tour by the proprietor, Isha Fofana, across the length and breadth of the gallery. The most striking aspect of the tour covered the inside view of the Women's Museum, where different artifacts that got there root from centuries of our traditional norms and values could be seen hanging on the walls, hangers displayed on the floor, some products contained in special containers for preservation of the spirit of arts and culture in the country and beyond.
Another interesting site of the gallery is the workshop that is located right at the far end of the compound, where training is offered to children and other potential artists on different skills. Trees and plants of different species could also be seen scattered in the garden. These trees and plants are used for healing numerous ailments. The set up of Mama Africa depicts a pristine natural environment where virtually everything is made out of traditional and natural products such as wood.
