On loan from the Eskenazi Museum of Art at Indiana Universit y\, it is the first exhibition of its kind at the Stanley Museum of Art\, reimagining the notion of an archive to include personal\, familial\, and community collections depicting the past. \nSpanning the colonial and inde pendence periods in Africa\, historic portraits from public archives often depict family and friends and thus hold deeply personal significance. The exhibition draws on strengths in the Eskenazi Museum’s collection of Ma lick Sidibé’s and Tijani Sitou’s photography from the mid- to late tw entieth century. Sidibé and Sitou became well known within their respecti ve communities in Bamako and Mopti\, both in Mali. Sidibé also garnered g lobal recognition for his portraits of Malians following political indepen dence from France in 1960\, earning his fame as one of the most celebrated photographers from the African continent. \nPortraiture & Archives in Afr ican Photography considers the significance of Sidibé’s and Sitou’s work today. It also traces new directions in portrait photography by conte mporary artists Zohra Opoku\, Ibrahima Thiam\, Hassan Hajjaj\, and Zanele Muholi who engage with portraiture\, archives\, and use photography alongs ide other media like textiles and painting. These six artists work in diff erent parts of Africa— including Ghana\, Senegal\, Mali\, Morocco\, and South Africa—and the African diaspora. Today\, Opoku\, Thiam\, Hajjaj\, and Muholi also actively participate in the global art world by exhibiting in international platforms that connect their practices to larger dialogu es about photography and portraiture. This exhibition offers a new take on Sidibé’s and Sitou’s legacy with Thiam—as both artist and co-curat or— re-inventing their images and reinscribing them with new meaning tod ay. \nA Collaborative Exhibition\n\n\n\nUntitled work from the Portraits “Vintage” series\, 2017. Inkjet print on Hahnemühle paper. 39 11/16 x 31 1/4 inches. Loan from the Eskenazi Museum of Art\, 2024.223. Ibrahima Thiam (Senegalese\, 1976—)\nContemporary artist Ibrahima Thiam guest cur ated this exhibition with Eskenazi Museum curator Allison Martino and Indi ana University faculty Beth Buggenhagen. This was the first time that the Eskenazi Museum invited an artist to serve as an exhibition co-curator. Th rough this collaborative process\, Thiam sought to reinvent the portraitur e tradition in Africa to provide renewed appreciation for African photogra phic archives. This tradition encompasses the work of renowned photographe rs such as Malick Sidibé and Tijani Sitou\, as well as photographs dating back to the arrival of the camera in Saint-Louis\, Senegal\, in 1862. The curators prioritize Thiam’s vision to reimagine African photographic ar chives by placing communities and families\, as they pictured themselves\, at the center. \nThiam and Buggenhagen began working together in Senegal in 2016\, and Thiam first visited Indiana University in 2019 to participat e in a roundtable about his work. He returned in the summer of 2024 for a residency at the Eskenazi Museum of Art to study Sidibé’s and Sitou’s photography and to work on curating the exhibition. Stanley Museum of Art curator Cory Gundlach met Thiam at Dakar in 2022. After acquiring Thiam ’s work for the Stanley Museum of Art in 2023\, he began planning with T hiam and Martino to bring this exhibition to Iowa. Thiam\, Buggenhagen\, a nd Martino worked together to select photographs for the exhibition at Ind iana. The exhibition at Iowa also includes Gundlach’s recent acquisition of work by Hassan Hajjaj and Zanele Muholi. Thiam collaborated on exhibit ion design with staff at the Stanley and Eskenazi museums\, where he also served as curator-in-residence. His vision drove the exhibition narrative\ , foregrounding the perspective of a contemporary photographer. \n \n\n\n\ n\nGallery Hours\nOffice Hours\n\n\nMonday\nClosed\n9 a.m.–5 p.m.\n\n\nT uesday\n10 a.m.–4:30 p.m.\n9 a.m.–5 p.m.\n\n\nWednesday\n10 a.m.–4:3 0 p.m.\n9 a.m.–5 p.m.\n\n\nThursday\n10 a.m.–8:00 p.m.\n9 a.m.–5 p.m .\n\n\nFriday\n10 a.m.–4:30 p.m.\n9 a.m.–5 p.m.\n\n\nSaturday\n10 a.m. –4:30 p.m.\nClosed\n\n\nSunday\n12:00 p.m.–4:30 p.m.\nClosed\n\n\n\n  \n\nAcknowledgments\nThe Stanley Museum of Art and Eskenazi Museum of Art at Indiana University express gratitude and thanks to Malick Sitou and Dr .
