The African Photography Biennale, Rencontres de Bamako, was established in 1994 and has since grown to become the premier international event featuring African photography and video on the continent. After 30 years of existence and 14 editions, it has become a must-attend event in the world of contemporary art.

The selected theme this year will center on KUMA, speech, silence, and noise. It stands on the notion that photographs can communicate ideas, feelings, and messages through their images. A picture can tell a thousand stories. It transmits feelings, concepts, and messages by using the lighting, framing, or staging to capture the essence of the moment. Because of this genius, photographers can make an image speak. Bringing the past to life through photography speaks; it remains the enduring witness of a present conjugated with the future, the remembrance of a moment, an era, and a gesture for all eternity.

New voices are being heard all across the world these days. Alteration in tone or language, nature compels us to give it voice. The 14th Bamako Encounters invites artists to explore new forms, experiment with dialogues in between word and image, and give visual existence to moments of speech, eloquence, anger, hope, recollection, silence, cacophony, and noise.
