Daily life scene among the fetish huts of Niofoin (Ivory Coast). HUMANKIND, my premium, limited-edition, museum-quality standard book featuring over 200 large-format photos. Available here: https://robertopazziphoto.com The fetish huts of Niofoin, a Senufo village in northern Ivory Coast, are sacred structures that house protective entities such as Diby and Kalegbin, believed to guard the community and preserve its spiritual balance. Diby, often described as a powerful guardian, is associated with protecting the village from danger and hostile forces. Kalegbin is linked to protection against illness, harmful magic and misfortune, and is also connected to requests for rain and fertility. These huts stand out for their imposing size and their thick conical thatched roofs, which become larger over time because new layers of straw are added regularly rather than being completely replaced. This gradual growth gives the buildings a distinctive monumental appearance and reflects the idea of long lasting spiritual strength. The huts are also marked by symbolic decorations and ritual objects that recall offerings and sacrifices, emphasizing their role as living centers of spiritual power. More than simple shrines, the fetish huts represent the continuity of Senufo beliefs and the bond between the village, its ancestors and the invisible forces thought to shape human wellbeing.
