which represents a positive, yet not uncritical
introduction to the history, economics
and culture of Mali. It aims to
fill the void between the lack of
information and the misinformation
currently available to students and

Afrique
Virtuelle/Virtual Africa- Leonardo (in French)
Virtual Africa, a multimedia project organized under the aegis of
Leonardo/OLATS, took shape in 1998. Virtual Africa is first concerned
about creating a network of exchanges of views between intellectuals
and artists from Africa and other continents. Willing to instigate
encounters between arts and sciences, OLATS/Leonardo invites artists
and scientists to introduce their researches and to talk about their
experiences of the African world. The participants come, indeed,
from diverse horizons: they are painters, sculptors, photographers,
art historians, anthropologists, ethnologists.
Sans Papier
a web page about Africans who have lived in France for
many years
without legal papers and who are being deported from France,
resisting their deportation and fighting to obtain regular permits
and documents from the French authorities. It is also about
immigration around the world and is likened to Janet Goldner's
sculpture, "Most of Us Are Immigrants."
