A New York Times critics' pick | Best Art Books 2021
This volume presents the work of 17 contemporary African photographers, all of whom are alumni of the decade-long mentorship program in Johannesburg, South Africa, helmed by curator Simon Njami and the Goethe-Institut. Hailing from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Africa and Sudan, the photographers included represent some of the most innovative perspectives in African photography today. Their photographs are complemented by 13 essays that consider the medium within this historical moment in Africa.
