Born in Switzerland, artist and musician Stini Arn lives and works in Bamako, the capital of Mali in West Africa. Stini Arn has not only been following sounds across the world for many years, but also the history of textiles, in particular weaving. In Bamako, the artist built a loom and has revived forgotten traditional techniques and patterns alongside local weavers. The artist also opened the Atelier Yiriba in Bamako, an open space for local children to be creative. Stini Arn and Dramane Mallé opened the hotel studio to friends, enthusiasts and hotel guests on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 April from 4pm.
