For her carte blanche at Sorbonne Artgallery, Fatoumata Diabaté created a series in Mali during the summer of 2024. For about sixty years, and particularly since 2010, the country has been plagued by geopolitical conflicts. With the project Nte bogo daga ye—meaning "I am not pottery" in the Bambara language —Fatoumata Diabaté pays tribute to the victims of the atrocities committed in Ogossagou, a Dogon village destroyed on March 23, 2019, where the entire population was burned alive. Armed with the only weapon she possesses, her art, Fatoumata Diabaté transports us to this "victim space" and bears witness to the suffering associated with this massacre. Through the use of pottery, she confronts the durability of this everyday object—"burned" to be solidified—with the murder of the inhabitants, killed by fire. She approaches this series as a true testimony, expressing both violence and resistance.
