ABOUT THE YEREDON CENTER Centre Yeredon (ENG: The Yeredon Center) is an Arts and Culture Center located in the Doumanzana neighborhood of Bamako, Mali, dedicated to preserving Malian traditional arts and culture. Founded in 2001, Centre Yeredon is run by Seydou Coulibaly, a renowned Malian dancer, and Michelle Bach-Coulibaly, professor of Mande Dance, Music, and Culture at Brown University. An all-inclusive summer program is offered every year, and individual classes and programs can be designed to fit any visitor's interests. The Yeredon Center continues to offer new and exciting programming as a model-school for international exchange and research on art and social service projects. It currently supports researchers from all over the world to come and utilize the library and facilities while in the country. We continue our work with a community youth dance and musical troupe, Troupe Yeredon, and their public service film making initiatives.
