Dazed Magazineさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Dazed MagazineInstagram)「The World In Common: Contemporary African Photography exhibition examines the currency of the photographic image as a supposed document of truth and how, as a conduit of meaning, its meaning can alter as it travels through space and with the passage of time. ⁠ ⁠ “Photography has played a very important role in shaping global perceptions of Africa – the medium has been in use on the continent since its invention in the 19th century,” curator @oseibonsu_ tells Dazed. “While photography is widely understood as a democratic and accessible medium, it has also been used as a tool to perpetuate colonial images and stereotypes of Africa. The exhibition confronts this narrative, looking at Africa’s multiple histories and cultures to illuminate the role photography can play in changing the way we see the world.”⁠ ⁠ The expansive new exhibition at @tate brings together 36 multigenerational artists whose work explicates, shapes, and reinterprets Africa’s diverse cultures and historical narratives. Tracing these threads across photography, film, and audio, the show spans the continent’s many geographies, cultures and time zones to present a vision of Africa past, present and future that is as nuanced as it is prodigious. ⁠ ⁠ “Given the vast number of countries on the African continent, the aim wasn’t necessarily to ‘represent’ each country, but rather to reveal multiple perspectives on different themes and issues,” explains Bonsu. ⁠ ⁠ Read more through the link in our bio 🔗⁠ ⁠ 📷 via the subjects」7月10日 1時04分
