In pariete



Tabula
Kidal lies in northeastern Mali, in the Adrar des Ifoghas, a rocky upland region in the Sahara. The town sits in a valley surrounded by bare hills and wide sandy plains. On the map, its streets form a compact, fairly regular block pattern. Beyond them there is little but open desert, rock outcrops and the pale lines of dry riverbeds.
These wadis are the key to the landscape. They carry water only rarely, after the short rains, but they shape the terrain and cut long branching paths across the map. Kidal has long been an important centre for the Tuareg people of the region, and tracks lead out of town across the desert toward other settlements and wells.
A Kidal map poster shows how small a town can look in a very large landscape. In black and white, the street grid becomes a dense spot surrounded by the fine, branching lines of dry watercourses. The result is spare and graphic, and it suits the place well.

Wadis branch across the terrain around the town. Although usually dry, they trace fine, tree-like lines that shape the whole landscape.
The hills of the Adrar des Ifoghas rise around the valley. They create rougher, broken ground at the edges of the map.

Cur Kidal
For people from Kidal, many of whom live far from home, a map of the town carries a strong connection to family, community and the desert. Its minimal look also makes it a striking piece to hang.
You can personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line in any language, including Tamasheq or French. The five styles are Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Sand is a natural choice for a Saharan town.
