Fotofest – African Cosmologies Redux
with works from “City-scapes” series by Monica de Miranda
Curated by Mark Sealy
African Cosmologies: Redux is an adaptation of the postponed FotoFest Biennial 2020
exhibition, African Cosmologies: Photography, Time, and the Other, featuring artists included in
the original iteration of that exhibition and complemented by a series of programs.
Curated by Mark Sealy, Director of the renowned London-based photographic art
institution Autograph ABP, African Cosmologies: Redux is a large-scale group exhibition that
examines the complex relationships between contemporary life in Africa, the African
diaspora, and global histories of colonialism, photography, and rights and representation.
The exhibition considers the history of photography as one closely tied to a colonial
project and Western image production, highlighting artists who confront and challenge this
shortsighted, albeit canonized lineage
