Pillar of Po Tolo – Antwane Lee
The Pillar of Po Tolo is an interactive art installation that pays homage to the ancient cosmology and spiritual beliefs of the Dogon people of Mali in West Africa. The sculpture transmits their knowledge of astronomy and sacred science through petroglyphs, symbols, and other indigenous aesthetics. It consists of a 25-foot-tall sculpture, 4 doorway portals, and 4 podiums radially spread out at 90 degrees.
