Description
Mapping Senufo: Art, Evidence, and the Production of Knowledge is an ongoing collaborative digital initiative that focuses on arts commonly labeled as Senufo and located to an area spanning the present-day borders of Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, and Mali in West Africa. While the project centers on a single corpus of art and knowledge about it, the project also addresses a more fundamental concern, namely how people evaluate evidence and present findings. We seek to assess the nature of evidence for making certain claims and to invite readers to think about how any of us knows what we know. We also aim to engage broad audiences.
