Rencontres de Bamako Reveals Artist List for 2022

Very happy and honored to be one of the people who will be part of the group of artists of the 13th edition of the Bienal of photographic and lens-based art - Bamako Encounters on the African continent!

The Bamako Encounters will pay a powerful tribute to the spaces in between, to that which defies definition, to phases of transition, to being this and that or neither and both, to becoming, and to difference and divergence in all their shades. Accordingly, Amadou Hampâté Bâ’s statement (Aspects de la civilisation africaine, Éditions Présence Africaine, 1972) presiding over the manifestation, Maa ka Maaya ka ca a yere kono, translates to, “the persons of the person are multiple in the person.”

Collaboratively conceived by General Director Cheick Diallo, Artistic Director Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung, and the curatorial team—Akinbode Akinbiyi (artist and independent curator), Meriem Berrada (Artistic Director, MACAAL, Marrakech), Tandazani Dhlakama (Assistant Curator, Zeitz MOCAA, Cape Town), and Liz Ikiriko (artist and Curator of Collections and Contemporary Engagement at Art Gallery of York University, Toronto)—this edition of the biennale will once again facilitate a moment of encounter for artists from the African world.

This edition of Bamako Encounters will take place from October 20, 2022 to December 20, 2022, at various venues in Bamako, Mali.

Intitulée “Maa ka Maaya ka ca a yere kono — Sur la multiplicité, la différence, le devenir et l’héritage”, cette édition est une invitation à réfléchir collectivement à ces multiplicités d’être et de différences, à dépasser la notion d’être unique et à embrasser des identités composées, stratifiées et fragmentées, ainsi que des compréhensions multiples, complexes et non-linéaires de l’espace et du temps.

Près de 75 personnalités artistiques du monde de l’art africain ont été invitées à contribuer à la multiplicité de cette édition.

Titled “Maa ka Maaya ka ca a yere kono—On Multiplicity, Difference, Becoming and Heritage”, this edition is an invitation to reflect collectively on these multiplicities of being and differences, to go beyond the notion to be unique and to embrace composite, layered and fragmented identities, as well as multiple, complex and non-linear understandings of space and time.

Roughly 75 artists from the African world have been invited to contribute to this edition’s multiplicity.
