Quai de la Photo is devoting its two levels to an exceptional exhibition entitled Un autre Mali dans un autre monde (Another Mali in Another World), dedicated to the richness and evolution of Malian photography.
The exhibition highlights some sixty works, offering a unique panorama of photography in Mali, from historic creations to the most contemporary, while exploring the importance of the Bamako Biennial, a key event on the African photography scene. While emblematic figures such as Malick Sidibé and Seydou Keïta have left their mark on history, Un autre Mali dans un autre monde features a total of 14 photographers and a new generation of contemporary artists such as Amadou Keita, John Kalapo, M. I. Tounkara, Seyba Keita, Kani Sissoko, Adama Bamba, Mamadou Konaté, Mory Bamba, Oumou Traoré, Fatoma Coulibaly and Drissa Diara, who reinvent this heritage through bold approaches and singular perspectives.
Rarely exhibited in France, Malian photographers are given a unique platform to showcase their talent. The exhibition will be enriched by the fascinating accounts of Seydou Camara and Françoise Huguier, who have accompanied the development and dissemination of Malian photography since 1994. One of the highlights will be the presentation of previously unseen photographs by Malick Sidibé, one of Mali's leading photographers.
