Information

We have picked up this beautiful rug from Mali. The rug has been difficult to photograph, and may seem a bit distorted in the picture. The rug is painted in earth tones, and can be used as a bedspread, over a sofa, and as a carpet, but there must be a base. The Bogolan rugs are all different as each stem has their own pattern and colors. They are all hand-painted, the division of labor is such that the men weave the rugs of organic cotton and the women ferment and paint the rugs. In Malaysian culture, the rugs are used for clothing. A little about Bogolan. Mud Cloth or as it is traditionally known as: Bogolan or Bogolanfini. Bogo means clay, lan means "made of". Bogolan is made of a cotton fabric, woven by hand and dyed with special mud. The mud is collected from the river bank and fermented for up to 1 year in a clay pot. Bogolan has an important place in traditional Malian culture and in recent times it has become a symbol of Malian cultural identity. First, long narrow webs of cotton are woven on simple pedal looms, then the webs are sewn together into a larger piece of fabric. This substance is dipped in a dye bath from a leaf puree from the tree n’gallama. The substance is then boiled and turns a yellowish color. The textiles are dried in the sun, after which they are carefully and repeatedly painted to delineate the intricate patterns. Thanks to the chemical reaction between the mud and the dyed fabric remains stained after the mud is washed off. Mud Cloth or as it is traditionally known as: Bogolan or Bogolanfini.

Tæppet har været svært at fotografere, og kan virke lidt forvrænget på billedet. Tæppet er malet i jordfarver, og kan bruges som sengetæppe, over en sofa, og som gulvtæppe, men der skal være et underlag. Bogolan tæpperne alle forskellige, da hver stamme har deres eget mønster og farver. De er alle håndmalede, arbejdsfordelingen er således, at mændene væver tæpperne af økologisk bomuld, og kvinderne fermenterer og maler tæpper. I malisisk kultur bruger man tæpperne til beklædning. Lidt om Bogolan. Mud Cloth eller som det traditionelt er kendt som: Bogolan eller Bogolanfini. Bogo betyder ler, lan betyder ”lavet af”. Bogolan er lavet af et bomuldsstof, vævet i hånden og farvet med specielt mudder. Mudderet er indsamlet fra flodbredden og fermenteret i op til 1 år i en lerkrukke. Bogolan har en vigtig plads i traditionel malisisk kultur og i nyere tid er det blevet et symbol på malisisk kulturel identitet. Først bliver der vævet lange smalle baner af bomuld på simple pedalvæver, derefter sys banerne sammen til et større stykke stof. Dette stof dyppes i et farvebad fra en bladpuré fra træet n’gallama. Stoffet bliver herefter kogt og aftager en gullig farve. Tekstilerne tørres i solen, hvorefter de males omhyggeligt og gentagne gange for at afgrænse de indviklede mønstre. Takket være den kemiske reaktion mellem mudderet og det farvede tekstil forbliver farvede efter mudderet er vasket af. Mud Cloth eller som det traditionelt er kendt som: Bogolan eller Bogolanfini.

New and exciting initiatives in Africa Mandinka Natural Products I / S was born on the basis of common chemistry, vision, adventure, humor… .and perseverance…. Finn Andersen and I, Dorte Eiersbo, met each other Greenland specifically Ilulissat, where I managed a guesthouse. Finn had a company that set up radio chains and lived at the guesthouse when he was on those edges. I have been a project maker all my working life mostly within the educational world. My last major project was GAIA Museum Outsider Art in Randers in 2002, where I was manager until I retired in the autumn of 2015. Finn and I quickly found out that we both had a sense of adventure and humor in common and were not afraid to throw ourselves into something new. Finn told about his project in Gambia. Among other things, he had built a lodge with 9 holiday apartments with his own bare fists near the sea near the capital Banjul. Fantastic performance in a foreign country. He needed to get an extra source of income to retain the staff in the lodge throughout the rainy season where there are not many tourists. I therefore went there with Finn in June 2018. We researched a lot, and fooled ourselves in between, but slowly we narrowed the project to what we wanted - namely to squeeze cosmetic oil from seeds from moringa and baobab. It required Finn to build, and now we have both storage, press room for cold pressing of our oils, rinsing room and cold room for the finished oil at the lodge. It is very different to work in Gambia, where time and credibility are understood in a different way than in Denmark. The Gambia is Africa's smallest country, half the size of Jutland, and poverty is widespread. It was an English Crown Colony until 1965, when it became independent. Gambia has a very young population, widespread illiteracy, very few natural resources and high unemployment, but great zest for life and hospitality. In that way, it made sense to start a sustainable project in Gambia. And hopefully in collaboration with several villages to build moringa farms, where Mandinka I / S can buy the seeds of the villages. We buy and process Gambia's raw materials in Gambia, shop locally, create jobs and build know-how.
