Women of the Ivory Coast and Mali
Photographs of a Heritage
Nancy Lensen-Tomasson
Selection of 22 silver print, black and white photographs of women of the Ivory Coast and Mali taken from 1989 to 1992 reflect the culture and traditions of the region. Lensen-Tomasson captures these native women engaged in their daily tasks of washing, reaping food, dancing, making pottery and cooking foods to sell in the marketplace, all the while tending to their multi-generational families.
