Traces, Empreintes de Femmes plot

The murals by the women from Burkina Faso, close to the border with Ghana, are renowned for the beauty of their motifs and their harmonious hues. Katy Lena Ndiaye confronts tradition and modernity through a portrait of three old women who initiate their 'granddaughters' in the techniques their ancestors already used.
