A few photos from 'The Journey: New Positions in African Photography,' one of Siddhartha Mitter’s Favorite Art Books of 2021 @nytimes !!⁠ ⁠ @siddharthamitter writes: "This volume showcases 17 photographers from nine countries, graduates of a 2008-18 mentorship program founded by Simon Njami, a respected curator (and co-editor of this book, with Sean O’Toole). A few have become recognized — Sammy Baloji, @lebohang_kganye — while others, like @gosettelubondo are emerging just now into the continent’s photo vanguard, with a full spectrum of documentary and conceptual approaches. Here, 13 essays by critics approach the subject by theme — “Knowledge,” “Fiction,” “Desire”— and broaden their discussion to other emerging photographers as well as the archive. It’s a generous approach that proposes African photography as a fertile and expansive field of collective inquiry."⁠ ⁠ Photographers include: Sammy Baloji, Eric Gyamfi, Macline Hien, Lebohang Kganye, Ala Kheir, Gosette Lubondo, Mário Macilau, Sabelo Mlangeni, Moss Morwahla Moeng, Mimi Cherono Ng’ok, Musa N. Nxumalo, Adeola Olagunju, Monique Pelser, Thabiso Sekgala, Georges Senga, Michael Tsegaye and Jansen van Staden.⁠ ⁠ Congrats @kerberverlag !!⁠ ⁠ More about the book via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ africanphotography #thejourney #contemporaryafricanphotography #bestartbooks2021 #bestphotobooks2021⁠ ⁠ https://www.instagram.com/p/CXYr7RnF40w/?utm_medium=tumblr
