All in photography

Deana Lawson

American photographer Deana Lawson’s work faithfully dissects the stereotypes of black aesthetics, focusing on the performance of the individual; the intimacy within a singular moment, a snapshot into a mind and a life, where a stranger becomes ‘family’.

Solomon Osagie Alonge

Nigerian photographer, Solomon Osagie Alonge allowed for a new expression in the court; scenes of colonial defeat were replaced with a belated yet restorative prowess, personal integrity and power were visualised in each image, initiating a new narrative of cultural and national pride for Nigeria. 

Wilson Oryema

Wait is the self-published book by artist and model Wilson Oryema. Simply put – it is ‘a book about consumption’, a book of short poems and stories that can be read as a somewhat manual – a witty moral code for our ever consuming, ever impatient society. 

Sory Sanlé

Burkinabe photographer Sory Sanlé’s works declare a nostalgia before their time, a want for the possibility of anticipated hope and joy, of replacing the void of creativity amidst colonial formality, and creating an unspoiled narrative of cultural articulation.
