MARAMOTTI COLLECTION - Malick Sidib�
Collezione Maramotti is pleased to present Malick Sidibé. La vie en rose, Italy's largest solo exhibition dedicated to the photographer.
The exhibition develops within the framework of the event Fotografia europea, organized by the town government, and this year in its fifth edition, dedicated to the theme of Enchantment as the meaning and direction of a fascinated, enchanted, surprised and positive, forward-projected look, capable of seeing with new eyes what is before us, and questioning the signs of transformation and change.
The exhibition presents a selection of circa 50 - mostly unpublished – photographs taken in Mali's capital Bamako, in the 1960s-1970s period. Photographies fully unveiling the magic and excitement of life in Bamako in those years, when the desire to be together, of being part of history in its making seemed imperative; images which have made Sidibé world famous: the parties in the 1960's, studio portraits and a selection of photographs from his archives, which tell us a long stretch of time in the history of Mali.
