The folks at ArtInfo.com did a little sleuthing and seem to have confirmed the ubiquitous Banksy’s work in Mali that was first hinted at in his Bristol Museum show earlier this year:
Banksy murals have turned up in some unlikely places, but the latest, Mali, is further-flung than usual. [...] Images include two figures hunting a large animal, possibly a bison, with bow and arrow; a woman hanging laundry on a line while a zebra stands by; a child staring out at the viewer from inside a a small metal washing tub; and a young girl with a yellow bird. [...] A member of the Banksy Flickr Group says no, he has seen at least one of them in person in the suburbs of Bamako. “There are a handful in Mali, stretching from Bamako to Timbuktu,” writes Flickr user Olly C, adding that they were created four or five months ago and that their locations remain unpublicized.
