Greetings from The Ko-Falen Cultural Center in Bamako , Mali !

We are currently accepting applications for Winter 2009-10 workshop sessions and would appreciate if you could circulate the attachment to the appropriate departments and interested persons in your institution. View our website at http://www.ko-falen.org and contact us for more information.

Ko-Falen Cultural Center , located in Bamako , Mali is the inspiration of Baba Wagué Diakité, a Malian artist and writer now living in Portland , Oregon .  It has been his dream to share the culture of his home country with the people of his adopted home.

Ko-Falen Cultural Center seeks to promote cultural, artistic and educational exchanges between the people of the United States and Mali through art workshops, dance, music and ceremony.  We believe that a greater understanding and respect between people can be reached through these personal exchanges.

We look forward to sharing our Center with you.
Baba Wague Diakite and the Ko-Falen Cultural Center Board
