À la fin du XVIIIe siècle, l'Afrique est un continent noble et sauvage. Entre Bamako et Tombouctou, Ségou est un royaume florissant; les Bambaras, polythéistes et animistes, un peuple invincible. Culte des ancêtres, sacrifices rituels, chants des griots. Tout semble immuable. Pourtant, de grands bouleversements se préparent. L'esclavage fait rage. Les Européens se prennent pour de grands civilisateurs. L'islam, d'abord considéré comme une culture exotique apportée par les caravanes, gagne du Terrain,<br />Le temps des malheurs commence. La famille de Dousika Traoé, noble bambara, sera la plus touchée. Quatre de ses fils seront jetés comme des fétus de paille dans la tourmente de l'Histoire et auront des destinées terribles.

<p><em>Image & Context (ICON) </em> is the first international series that focuses on the image and the imagery in the ancient world. The most distinctive quality of the image is its unique suggestive potential. An image can both catch the viewer's attention in a fraction of a second and stamp itself forever on his mind. At the core of the series are the questions of how and by whom images were shaped and perceived, and how images functioned within and contributed to a specific cultural context. The series aims to stimulate new discussion about the visual cultures of the ancient world and new approaches towards a history of the image.</p>
