What is the purpose of Mali's Sur le Niger festival?
The Sur le Niger festival serves as a cultural laboratory that experiments with the place and role of culture in development. It focuses not only on developing the city of Segu and its surrounding areas but also contributes to the development of Mali as a whole. Amid regional political shifts, including Mali's departure from ECOWAS, the festival has evolved into a significant platform for unity, reconciliation, and cultural resilience. It creates a space where cultural heritage becomes a catalyst for social cohesion and future development in the region.
