A World in Common – Contemporary African Photography

“A World in Common presents twenty-three African and African diaspora artists from different generations and geographical contexts. Inspired by Africa’s rich cultures and its current sociopolitical landscape, the exhibition refers to the philosophy of Cameroonian scholar Achille Mbembe, who calls for us to imagine “a world in common” by “thinking the world from Africa.” Over one hundred works challenge the western-oriented conception of the world, exploring alternative historical narratives that are deeply rooted in the diverse experiences, philosophies, and knowledge systems of the African continent. …”
