Fulani Art. A Gowaaɗo Fulani woman of Burkina Faso making mat.

"The Fulani are a wonderful example of an African people who do not carve sculptures but whose arts are nevertheless spectacular. The arts of architecture, mat making, the body costume, dance, music and performance are thoroughly integrated into their lives and influenced almost everything they do." In this video is a Gowaaɗo Fulani woman of Burkina Faso making a mat. She makes mats for their family use, also in order to sell and support herself and her family. It's worth noting that she does this not out of poverty, but something she grew up and learnt from her mom, mastered it and uses the skill as a source of income. Even when herds of cattle, goats and sheep are there to support their daily needs, she does this as means of being a supportive wife and mother.
