Born in 1936 in Soloba, Mali. Died in Bamako in April 2016. From the body of Malick Sidibé's work we know first the documentary photographs, taken at parties organized by young people fond of music and freedom as the country prepared for independence.
In 1962, he opened the “Studio Malick” in Bamako. The studio portraiture would constitute the major part of his work. People come from all over to have their portraits taken by the eye of Bamako…
Discovered at the first Bamako Photography Encounters, he was exhibited at the Fondation Cartier in Paris and then in major galleries and museums around the world. He received the Hasselblad Award in 2003 and then the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale in 2007.
