The exhibition Mali at Galerie Atiss Dakar and at Aïssa Dione’s Maison highlights a selection of Malian painters and photographers whose works reflect the country’s rich cultural and artistic heritage.
Moussa Traoré, through his deep visual explorations, addresses questions of identity and memory with chimeric figures and captivating compositions.
Ibrahima Konaté, known as Boutié, presents works in which abstraction and figuration merge to evoke the social and cultural complexities of Mali.
Kani Sissoko, for her part, brings to life a poetic universe in her creations, nourished by narratives that intertwine tradition and modernity, resonating deeply with Malian culture.
Salif Traoré offers a fresh perspective on contemporary painting; his vibrant works challenge power dynamics and social structures within Malian society.
Fatim Diarra completes the exhibition with her photography, capturing fleeting moments and poignant portraits that reflect human realities and Malian traditions.
The exhibition was followed by a presentation and book signing of "Le Livre d’Elias", a novel by Chab Touré, the exhibition’s curator, adding a literary and narrative dimension to the event, and enriching the immersive experience for visitors.
This artistic and cultural gathering showcases Mali’s creative diversity, offering an immersive journey into its stories and struggles through visual art.
