The neighborhood of Bamako (Mali) blacksmiths is located at the foot of the hill near the market Dossolo Traore. Here, locksmiths beat the iron from dawn to dusk modeling it according to several forms: wheelbarrows, nails, tools, safety deposit boxes, trunks ... The blacksmiths are often just kids, they handed down the craft from father to son, and they work in extremely precarious conditions.
