I feel like there was a very close relationship between the three co-curators and Bonaventure
The 12th edition of Les Rencontres de Bamako (Bamako Encounters) , a photography biennale that takes place in the capital of Mali, s of Consciousness. A Concatenation of Dividuals, the current project was conceived by its artistic director Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung and the team of three curators, namely, Aziza Harmel, Astrid Sokona Lepoultier, and Kwasi Ohene Ayeh. The exhibition is on view at a variety of venues in Bamako from the 30th of .
Aziza Harmel is a co-curator of Les Rencontres de Bamako. Aziza is currently developing a curatorial research program Qayyem, which will be roaming between Mass Alexandria (Alexandria), MMAG Foundation (Amman) and l’Appartement 22 (Rabat). In the interview conducted by Lesia Prokopenko, she talks about the structure and the concept of the biennale, her work on the project, the dialogue between the African diaspora and the continent, and zombification as a way to resist the immateriality of labor.
Aziza Harmel: It started with Bonaventure: he simply called me and said, “Listen, 
this is the last moment thing, Would you want to come on board and co-curate the 12 edition des Rencontres de Bamako with me?” Then he immediately sent me the proposal, and I was very interested.
Actually, I was always interested in working more in the continent.
