Rencontres de Bamako Biennial of African photography

Jodi Bieber, Graeme Williams, Riason Naidoo, Zanele Muholi, Dinkies Sithole, Alastair Whitton and Lebohang Mashiloane at Rencontres de Bamako: Biennial of African photography

The theme of this year’s Bamako Biennial for photography and video art is ‘Borders.’

From natural barriers to artificial lines traced across the earth, in Africa more than elsewhere, borders and their complex realities represent current problematics and the crystallizations of processes which are political, economic, sociocultural, and at this time particularly tied up with ethnic, cultural, religious and other sorts of personal and group identifications.

South African artists showing are Riason Naidoo, Dinkies Sithole, Jodi Bieber, Zanele Muholi, Lebohang Mashiloane, Graeme Williams and Alastair Whitton

07 November - 07 December
