Bankside London SE1 9TG
Bringing together a group of artists from different generations, this exhibition will address how photography, film, audio, and more have been used to reimagine Africa’s diverse cultures and historical narratives.
Moving beyond a traditional photography exhibition, the show seeks to explore the many ways images travel across histories and geographies. Using themes of spirituality, identity, urbanism and climate emergency, the exhibition will guide the viewer through dream-like utopias and bustling cityscapes viewed from the artists’ perspectives.
The exhibition follows artists across the many landscapes, borders, and time zones of Africa to reveal how photography allows the past and the future to co-exist in powerful and transformative ways.
The exhibition runs from the 6th of July 2023 to 14th January 2024.
