Festival at the Grand Mosque of Djenné | We Clothe the Mosque Every Year to Protect It
Since 2006, Instruments4Africa (I4Africa) has been working to empower at-risk youth in Mali, through diverse cultural and educational experiences. We facilitate the preservation of the traditional practices that promote intercommunity communication, awareness and conflict resolution. We create spaces where people listen to and learn about each other, building relationships of respect and communities of cooperation, and we organize events that help mend the social fabric through shared artistic expression.
Citizen movements are the driving force behind transformation in the Sahel, that’s why I4Africa, works directly in the remote and isolated communities close to the heart of the insecurity, to support community led events, and search for solutions to local and global challenges.
Mali - Mopti Grand Mosque
Perhaps the biggest attraction in Mopti is the Grand Mosque also known as Komoguel Mosque. It’s a spectacular mud brick building of ancient traditional Sudanese architecture that looks like it belongs on a planet from the Star Wars franchise. The mosque was built in 1908 on a site of an old mosque in the very center of Mopti - it’s a busy quarter of town and getting a good picture is tough - you need to climb roofs of the adjoining houses. Also the trees growing inside the mosque’s walls obscure a lot of the structure (supposedly, they used to be trimmed down before but that’s not happening anymore). The mosque is a UNESCO World Heritage, and it’s mud architecture requires annual restoration as the rain washes out and damages a lot of the mud during the rain season. Only Muslims can enter the walled off compound.

Sonic Dispatches from Traditional Mali: Grand Mosque of Djenne, Mopti.
If large parts of oral and musical traditions disappear, traditional belief structures can disappear with them. People can lose their bearings and right actions are no longer reinforced. Such a loss of community structure is particularly dangerous as fundamentalism and extremist ideologies seek to infiltrate The historically peaceful & religiously tolerant societies of Mali.
From February 2015 to February 2017, i4Africa has organized more than 22 community cultural events, drawing 200,000 visitors from Mali, Mauritania, Niger, and Burkina Faso.

Mali's Old Towns of Djenne Added To Endangered World Heritage Sites List
UNESCO is adding Mali's Old Towns of Djenne, famous for their adobe architecture, to its list of World Heritage in Danger sites. The decision was made Wednesday in Istanbul, where the 40th session of the World Heritage Committee is being held. The committee expressed concern over the historic towns, saying insecurity stood in the way of safeguarding measures. It appealed to the international community to support Mali's efforts to protect the site. The Old Towns of Djenne have been inhabited since 250 B.D. They became a market center and a major link in the trans-Saharan gold trade.
