During my dissertation research, I came across this video about the Dogon tribe of Mali. They have been prolific in their production of ornate, wooden carvings and have attracted much attention from the West. This video raises issues of exploitation and loss of heritage as many Dogon artefacts are bought, or even stolen, and sold in the West for millions while the original artists see little of that money. Traditional carpentry methods are being left behind as the tourist industry has created a high demand for the cultural artefacts.
