Foto School

Yamarou Photo is an association of photographers that is helping to consolidate Bamako’s position as the capital of African photography, through training and the democratisation of this artistic practice among general public. It aims to create a space for dialogue between young people around photography and to build a framework for meetings between national and international photographers.

“Foto School” is an image education project aimed at schoolchildren. In line with the government’s policy of promoting art in schools and colleges, the project aims to strengthen the skills of educational stakeholders (teachers, school administrators, educators, etc.) in visual arts teaching techniques, and to develop image culture and citizenship among young people.
