Pierrot Men on community and providing
opportunities for the youth
In conversation with Luke Newbould
7th April, 2023
A household name in Madagascar, Pierrot Men is a generational artist
who tells a lifelong story of identity. He opened a photographic
studio in 1974 as a means of earning a living. Since, the photographer has developed an incredible catalogue of black-and-white documentary reportages and street images of Madagascar. Working within his community, and opening a conversation about the climate
emergency in Madagascar, he owns the largest photo laboratory in Fianarantsoa, providing
opportunities for the youth which he never had.
