PHOTOGRAPHER: MALICK SIDEBE































Lately i've been looking at african photographer from the 50's period. The wildness of the 1950’s, and the coming of independence, gave birth to a new generation of photographers who were totally involved in the cultural and social life that they recorded. After some healthy food for thought from lecturer Itai doron, he put me up on the brilliant work of Malick Sidebe.

    i found these photos through doing research into ska and stuff, and thought they might be useful to you, although i have no idea who shot them.
