Joana Choumali: HERE I STAND, 2022

This new work by Joana Choumali, the first African photographer to win the Prix Pictet, in 2019, is from her ongoing series Albahian. In it, she photographs her surroundings at dawn before layering the images with embroidery. She says: ‘I have come to understand that what I was hoping to find in my journeys abroad, I finally discovered in my own home’

@radkindoffeminist okay so I found this article that I think you'd like right? It has a short introduction to a few African female photographers as well as a brief intro to colonial photography! It's interesting and I've never heard of any of these people before?? So much of the famous photographer space is devoted to white Americans and others don't get the light they deserve.

Read this article! It's so interesting!!
