A new, eye-opening image of Africa will be on display at the Michigan State University Museum, thanks to a group of sixth grade Malian students from two small villages 500 miles southwest of Timbuktu. Visual Griots, a project of the Academy for Educational Development, Washington, D.C., sent a team of Malian and U.S. photographers into the villages of Damy and Kouara to put cameras in the hand of youth, empower them to document their lives, and help them better connect with their communities and the world. Promoting community cultural development and mutual understanding are the primary goals of the program.
