The first photographs of Africans were colonial ethnographic depictions that presented African peoples in very dehumanising ways.
This series looks at the moment when we turned the lens on ourselves and subverted that ethnographic gaze.
This series is an ode to Malick Sidibé, Philip Kwame Apagya, Seydou Keïta and the African photographers who first denounced the colonial gaze of studio photography and created images of power, reclamation and cultural pride.
