The event forms part of the 'Nyeleni' exhibition, which opened the previous day at Casa África. The workshop will be attended by the photographers Fatoumata Diabaté, Oumou Diarra, Dikkonet, Mariam Niaré, Kani Sissoko and Oumou Traoré from Mali, as well as the curators Franziska Jenny and Joyce Pennekamp.
The format: Everyone chooses one or more questions relating to identity, memory and everyday life and responds to them with photographs they have taken previously. During the session, a collective collage will be created from the images brought along. Anyone unable to attend in person may also send in their photographs without taking part.
On Saturday 7 November 2026, from 10:00 to 12 noon, the result will be on display as a temporary exhibition in the patio of the Casa de Colón. The public is welcome to get involved. Places are limited. The event is organised by Centro La Favorita in collaboration with Casa África, with the support of the Casa de Colón.
