In Diafarabe, a village of the Macina region in Mali, a lavish Fula festival takes place at the same
time every year to honour the poet-herdsmen and their cattle returning from transhumance to
the vast Sahel plain. This is a unique moment when tales from time immemorial mingle with sung poems,
while the herdsmen’s and their cattle’s bodies seem to have been seized by the same kind of vertigo.
At MiiR, we

to those in need. We decided to start by making great bottles with
