Malian artist Baba Wague uses clay as canvas for folklore | Oregon Art Beat

From the “Oregon Art Beat” archives: Raised as a storyteller, Mali-born artist Baba Wague uses clay as his canvas and animals to illustrate his Malian folklore-inspired stories. A long time educator, Wague demonstrates the practice of painting and glazing pottery in his studio to teach students how stories passed down through generations inform design. Wague is featured in the Portland Art Museum's current exhibition "Black Artists of Oregon" running through March 17, 2024. For more information: https://portlandartmuseum.org/event/b...
