    We have just added an online exhibition about Malian Bogolan (mud cloth) to the website of the Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage. This exhibition draws upon the documentation of Malian artists who participated in the 2003 and 2011 Smithsonian Folklife Festivals, and it includes audio tracks and video. It was compiled by Meghan Hiscock, the 2011 Katzenberger Art History Intern at the Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage.
