Women in Koudougou, Burkina Faso working in an artisan dye center called Long Néeré, meaning Cotton Beauty in the mooré, the local language. To create the motif on the fabric, they use a wooden stamp, here carved into a butterfly, which they dip paraffin and press on the fabric. The fibers under the wax will not absorb the color. The center employs 10 women, their fabrics are sold for home use and clothing, locally and in Europe. Photo by Danielle Voirin. Prior cover: A starfish.
