Cette manifestation dédiée à la photographie africaine est devenue la plateforme incontournable de découvertes et d'échanges. ©Electre 2024
Since its launch in 1994 the Encounters of Bamako Biennial has become the big event on the African photography scene and a contemporary art must. Organised by the Malian Ministry of Culture in association with the Institut Français and with the backing of the European Union, the Biennial has already brought recognition to a host of photographers including Seydou Keita, Malick Sidibé, Samuel Fosso and Santu Mofokeng.
Under artistic directors Michket Krifa and Laura Serani this 9th edition, titled "For a Sustainable World", is testimony to the vitality and creativity of current African output. In different modes - documentary, journalistic, metaphorical, fictional - the continent's artists take stock of the present, spotlight its dangers and identify lines of resistance for a more livable world.
In addition to the kaleidoscopic view provided by the Pan-African Exhibition, the Encounters of Bamako 2011 includes monographic and thematic exhibitions - David Goldblatt, Nii Obodai, George Osodi, Nyaba Léon Ouedraogo, Philippe Bordas... - together with tributes to the Tunisian and Egyptian artists of the Arab Spring, Goddy Leye, the Sindika Dokolo Collection and all those photographers, curators and institutions committed to promoting Africa's photographic heritage.
