Rashid Mahdi (Arabic: رشيد مهدي, 1923 – 2008) was a Sudanese photographer, active in Atbara from the 1950s to the 1970s. French photographer Claude Iverné , founder of a large archive of photographs dedicated to this "Golden Age" of photography in Sudan, called Mahdi "certainly the most sophisticated and one of the major African photographers of the 20th century."[1]
Most prominently, Mahdi's photographs were presented at the African Photography Encounters in Bamako, Mali, in 2005,[2] in a personal exhibition during the Paris Photo fair in 2011,[3] as well as at the 2017 retrospective exhibition "The Khartoum School: the making of the modern art movement in Sudan (1945 – present)", presented by the Sharjah Art Foundation, United Arab Emirates.[4] His work is also represented in the collection of the Musée du quai Branly in Paris.
