For the Dogon peoples, the meetinghouse, or toguna, is the centerpiece of each village. Men gather to discuss matters involving the entire community. Its massive millet-stalk roof is supported by columns masterfully sculpted with figures in high relief. The Bamana peoples have developed a unique form of communal theater, called cheko. The principal actors in cheko performances are colorful, animated puppets. Some of these puppets are small enough o be manipulated by hand. Others tower above the rooftops of the village and require tow or more people to move them. These fascinating Dogon and Banana works of art depict both traditional and contemporary themees. They vividly show how art continues to evolve in Africa today."
