 The 
 West African country of Mali has long been home 
 to a creative community of photographers, 
 many based in urban studios. This exhibition 
 explores five exemplary practitioners of the 
 art of photography: Mamadou Cissé, Adama Kouyaté, 
 Abdourahmane Sakaly, Malick Sidibé and Tijani 
 Sitou-spanning the period from the 1940s 
 to the 1990s. Their works document the region's 
 transition from colonial French West Africa 
 to the independent nation state of Mali, 
 featuring portraits taken within and outside 
 the studio, as well as cultural events and transcultural 
 trends. \n
