With the photo exhibition "Mali: Personal Insights into the Humanitarian Crisis", five international humanitarian organizations want to strengthen the voices of the people on the ground and draw attention to the dramatic situation. The exhibition can be seen daily from March 21 to April 23 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Alte Münze in Berlin. Free admission.
Malian photographer Tiécoura N'Daou traveled to the Gao and Mopti regions in September 2025 to capture the lives of the people experiencing the crisis every day.
His photographs document loss, forced displacement and everyday life under the conditions of a protracted conflict. At the same time, they show resilience, dignity and the strength of the communities that persevere despite violence, insecurity and climatic shocks.
Background: The humanitarian situation in Mali continues to deteriorate
The exhibition highlights the dramatic developments in the country: around 6.4 million people in Mali are dependent on humanitarian aid due to armed conflicts, forced displacement and climatic shocks. Armed groups increasingly control key transport routes, markets are destabilized and entire communities are isolated. At the same time, the current fuel crisis is leading to supply bottlenecks in hospitals, health centers and schools. Humanitarian organizations expect the situation to deteriorate further in 2026.
Joint initiative by international aid organizations
After a first stop in Brussels, the exhibition is now being shown in Berlin - organized by Action Against Hunger, International Rescue Committee, Norwegian Refugee Council, Danish Refugee Council and Doctors of the World, with financial support from the European Union and the Federal Foreign Office.
About the photographer
Malian photographer Tiécoura N'Daou took the pictures shown in the exhibition in September 2025. The artist, teacher and researcher, a graduate of the Conservatory of Art and Multimedia in Bamako, works at the intersection of photography, video and visual art. His sensitive style, anchored in reality, always focuses on the dignity of people in everyday scenes, portraits and landscapes. N'Daou's career includes numerous international exhibitions and artistic residencies. With his work, he aims above all to create spaces for encounters - places where individual stories become part of a collective memory.
