Françoise Huguier

In 1991, she discovered the photographers Seydou Keïta and Malick Sidibé (winner of the 2003 Hasselblad Award) and contributed to increasing recognition of their work.

She awarded a second Villa Médicis hors les murs laureate residency in 1993 for her book En route pour Behring (On the road to Bering) (éditions Maeght), a travel journal of a solo trip in Siberia.

In 1998, she exhibited at the Maison européenne de la photographie A l'Extrême (To the extreme), work undertaken over a few years in the South African province KwaZulu-Natal.

In 2008, she was invited by Christian Lacroix, artistic director of the Rencontres Photographiques d'Arles, to an exhibition held in her honor.

She was the subject of a major retrospective, Pince-moi, je rêve (Pinch me, I'm dreaming]) in 2014 at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie.
