From the 27th of March to the 9th of April, The Cultural Affairs of the French Embassy in Ghana are organising an ambitious workshop welcoming about 20 photographers from the whole continent: 5 from Ghana, and participants coming from Chad to Botswana, from Mali to Gabon.



The workshop will be directed by two talented photographers: Ghanaian Francis Nii Obodai Provençal and Franco-Algerian Bruno Boudjelal.



Litterally, the workshop will be a Visa for the International Photography Encounters of Bamako, in November 2009, where the most achieved works will be exhibited, providing a marvellous visibility for the rising or more experienced photographers of the Continent.



In the meantime, on the 9th of April, a light exhibition of the images produced during the workshop will be opened at the Alliance Française in Accra.
