Description

Accra Aperture 252 explores the dynamic photographic voices and histories that connect visual culture in West Africa to the world. Guest edited by Lyle Ashton Harris and Nii Obodai, this issue considers the complexities of representation across various mediums. The publication delves into Ghana's rich photography history, from the late nineteenth century to the present day, featuring exclusive interviews with Zohra Opoku and John Akomfrah. It also showcases the work of Carlos Idun-Tawiah, whose photographs will be presented at the Armory Show in New York. Photography is a potent medium for situating history, according to Nii Obodai, and Accra Aperture 252 looks both to the archives that catalog Ghana's past and to the visions of a new generation.
