Tiébélé :
the traditionally painted mud village of the Gurunsi people in southern Burkina Faso.
Painting the houses has always been a womens' job here.

Crocodiles and snakes wind their ways across the walls. The creatures swim in a sea of stars, moons, and geometric designs... Traditional art and architecture are alive in the village of Tiébélé in Burkina Faso. The Kassena have kept the beautiful artistic style of their ancestors alive in their unique royal court – making Tiébélé is a ‘must-see’ for anyone visiting Burkina Faso. Tiébélé is a village situated in Nahouri, a province in the south-central region of Burkina Faso. This village belongs to the Kassena, an ethnic group that inhabits the southern part of Burkina Faso and the northern part of the country’s southern neighbor, Ghana. Moreover, the chief of the Kassena has his official residence in this village, and his domain is known also as the Cour Royale de Tiébélé (which may be translated to mean the ‘Royal Court of Tiébélé). The buildings of the Cour Royale de Tiébélé are built and decorated in the traditional Kassena manner. The Kassena are part of a larger ethnic group known as the Gurunsi. As a result of European colonialism in Africa, specifically the partitioning of West Africa towards the end of the 19th century, the Kassena were separated from the other groups within the Gurunsi. As a consequence of this isolation, the Kassena developed, over the decades, a cultural identity that is different from the rest of the Gurunsi. Art and architecture are two ways in which the Kassena express their cultural identity, and this is evident in the village of Tiébélé. Photo: Rita Willaert Nestled at the base of a hill, overlooking the Savannah, lies Tiébélé—an African village in Burkina Faso. First settled in the 15th century, the 1.2-hectare commune is home to the Kassena people, their chief, and royal court—together making up one of oldest ethnic groups in Burkina Faso. In 2009, photographer Rita Willaert and travel blogger Olga Stavrakis were lucky enough to be some of the few people ever allowed to visit the isolated site. Willaert’s photos document the villagers’ untouched, unique way of living, where local traditions have been protected for centuries. Stavrakis recounts their experience, explaining how before they arrived they were even given a dress code: “We were told in advance that we must not wear anything red and we may not carry an umbrella. Only the chiefly noble family is permitted that privilege, and to do so would constitute a great affront to our hosts.”

I read the Tiébélé report for you:
In Tiébélé, Burkina Faso, climate and neglect are erasing centuries-old painted homes. The art is passed down through generations. Without support, this cultural heritage may be lost.
