Pulaar and Wolof versions of a book on Anni Albers are now in Senegal.
Anni & Bert: A Weaving Story is a colorful exploration of the artwork and influences of Anni Albers. Written by Emily Hall, with illustrations by Victoria Semykina, the book introduces young readers to the fundamentals of weaving and the world of textiles. The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation and Le Korsa were able to arrange for Pulaar and Wolof versions of the book to be created, and they have now been distributed to cultural centers and schools in Senegal, where readers are enjoying the story in their local languages. The English version is available through the Museum of Modern Art.
