The festival

The Mali Artistic and Cultural Biennial is the great Malian cultural meeting, born after independence. Multidisciplinary, it brings together theatre, dance, music and literature, from one host city to another.

After twelve years of interruption, it was relaunched in 2023 in Mopti. In December 2025, Timbuktu welcomed it for the first time, with twenty regional delegations. The next host city and the next dates have not yet been announced.
