Africa in the Photobook with Ben Krewinkel
Event info
In this talk Ben Krewinkel will examine the history of the photobook in Africa over the last 150 years. He will examine the role photography played in upholding colonial power in Africa, in missionary schools, in the independence movement, to the present day. The production, purpose, and audience of photobooks that include propaganda, personality cult, and protest books will also be examined.
This two-hour talk and Q+A is part of a series of eight aiming at creating connections between the processes of making work and how local, international, ethical, creative and commercial concerns overlap in the showing, publishing, and dissemination of work. The talks will examine the photobook, the exhibition, the archive, collaborative work, the photo-festival, power, and regional identities. Each talk stands alone, but forms part of the series.
The series runs from 3 March-21 April and is available at a discounted rate when compared to attending each talk individually. See details of the full series here: https://rps.org/looking3
