| Summary: |
Mail Art. The envelope is decorated on both sides. On the front is a photocopy print of men/negotiators with some added colour. The men are gesticulating with their hands, using the sign language of deaf people; on the reverse is torn paper collage. Musa’s drawing of the negotiators relates to his book Les funérailles de l’éléphant: Contes du Burkina Faso (2006), which emphasises the shadow play dimension of negotiation.
