My initial idea for the zine/book was to produce illustrations of tribal objects along with some information about where they come from and what they are used for. However, after reading more about the Dogon tribe in Mali I have become more focused on them as their heritage seems to be really under threat. When searching for images of African tribal objects, the majority seem to come from Dogon villages but the original images come from auctioning websites such as this one:

The expression on the man's face just oozes slimy salesman and it seems mad that these objects which are a vital part of Dogon life and spirituality have a price tag on them.
