Overview

Unseen work by Mali’s most celebrated living photographer Malick Sidibé will be shown at the Lichfield Studios in London from 14 March 2010. Sidibé, who became the first photographer to be awarded the Lion d'Or for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice Biennale in 2007, is now internationally respected for his black and white photographs that capture the transformation and energy of post-colonial Bamako, Mali’s capital city. His presence in Europe ranges from a major exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London (2003) to working alongside fashion designer Marc Jacobs.
