Born in 1936 in Soloba, Mali. Died in Bamako in April 2016.
From Malick Sidibé’s work one first knows the documentary photographs, taken at surprise parties organized by young people fond of music and freedom as the country prepares for independence. In 1962, he opens the « Studio Malick » in Bamako. The studio portrait will constitute the major part of his work. People come from all over to have their portrait taken by the eye of Bamako…
Noted at the first Bamako Photography Encounters, he is exhibited at the Fondation Cartier in Paris and then in major galleries and museums around the world. He receives the Hasselblad Award in 2003 and the Golden Lion in 2007.
