Rencontres de Bamako

Françoise Huguier (1995)

A television documentary (in French) in the series 'Magazine de la culture africaine' about a group of photographers from Mali who, after several decades, have only recently had their work exhibited.

Their archives of negatives and photos from the 1950s onwards are a rich source of visual documentation of Mali's past, portraying the people, the social history of the nation and their identity, fashions and pleasures of the people of Bamako.

Off-air recording, TV5, 30/12/1995. Useful for students of African language/culture.
