VIII Edición de la Bienal de Fotografía de Bamako
After eight editions, the Bamako Photography Biennial (Recontres africaines de la photographie) is already totally consolidated not only as the most important manifestation of photographic creation on the African continent, but also as a first class artistic and cultural event on an international scale.
Casa África collaborates another year with the organisation of this important meeting of African photography by preparing a vast programme of activities that will have the presence of its General Director, Ricardo Martínez and that includes:
-The award for the Casa África Prize 2011
-The exhibition 'Singularidades, jóvens creadores de Mali', which will be presented at the Bamako Arts and Trades conservatory. At the inauguration, Ricardo Martínez will present the 10 participating artists with a camera that will allow them to continue delving into video art. This work has travelled through many towns guided by Casa África in its work of promoting African culture and supporting emerging values. Now that this journey comes to an end, Casa África gives back the works to the artists.
-The presentation of Zanele Muholi's monography; she was the winner of Casa África's prize in the 2009 Biennial and who presently exhibits part of her work in Casa África's exhibition halls.
