Exhibition Details

This exhibition brings together the work of twelve artists living and working in Africa and the diaspora. Employing the language and tools of photography, the artists here explore the effects of colonialism, migration and changing identities. They deconstruct narratives by retelling stories and collaging time and space.

Additional Details

The works investigate the past, question memory and imagine different possible futures. By looking through the lens of style, processes and themes, common links across the continent show how the various works resonate and echo each other, amplifying our own struggles, dreams and aspirations.
