Summary |
The interior delta of the Niger River in Mali. The river crosses a vast plain in the heart of the sahel. It is vivid patchwork of canals, rivers, lakes, islands, seas, prairies, and flood zones. Throughout their territory, human societies have learned to live together, in a symbiotic relationship with the cycles and movements of the river. During the dry season, as water levels began receding, I went to encounter the people of the delta - artisans, merchants, navigators, herders and fishermen - leaving in search of a human portrait of the river |
