FotoFest has a long history of international engagement, and we are especially excited to be working with photographers from Africa and its diaspora in 2020.
Steven Evans, executive director of FotoFest.
In their unique practices, the featured artists turn an eye to social, cultural, and political conditions that inform and influence concepts of representation as they pertain to image production and circulation in Africa and beyond. These artists question the ways in which subjectivity is constructed and deconstructed by the camera, and in the process, reveal legacies of resistance by those who defy traditional ideas of sexual, racial, gender-based, and other marginalized identities.
