Description
Kiluanji Kia Henda Travelling to the Sun Through the Night is a collection of photographs that chronicle Angola's post-war transformation. From 2005 to 2013, Kia Henda captured the city of Luanda and its people in a period of re-making, remembering, and re-inventing themselves. This book presents a unique narrative approach, blending history and fiction to create inventive histories of his country. Kia Henda's photographs are not traditional photojournalistic documents but rather a strong theatrical and narrative gesture. The resulting images offer a glimpse into the complex processes of Angola's transition from war to peace. Travelling to the Sun Through the Night is a powerful exploration of identity, culture, and nationhood in the early 21st century. With its distinctive narrative approach and evocative photographs, this book provides a fascinating insight into Angola's recent past.
