Shawn Davis of the Academy for Educational Development introduces the landmark exhibition Visual Griots of Mali, the result of a project in which U.S. and Malian photographers helped the youth of the country create their own photographic documents of their lives. This program includes a screening of the short film Malick Sidibé: Portrait of the Artist as a Portraitist (2006, 8 minutes) and an invitation to the audience to document their reactions to the exhibition.
