mandeville gallery, nott memorial
a new exhibition will be on display at the mandeville gallery, in schenectady, ny from march 15 - may 13, 2012. 15 prominent contemporary african photographers were selected to create missionary postcards to provide a ‘starting point to trace some of the stereotypes that still prevail below the surface of our consciousness, and make us aware that by framing a culture from without, the meaning of that culture is distorted.’
these works aim to provoke discussion and thought surrounding cultural and historical assumptions about africa. featured artists include:
Philip Kwame Apagya (Ghana), Yto Barrada (Morocco), Nabil Boutros (Egypt), Samuel Fosso (Camaroon), David Goldblatt (South Africa), Seydou Keïta (Mali), Boubacar Touré Mandémory (Senegal), Zwelethu Mthethwa (South Africa), Grace Ndiritu (Kenya), Obie Oberholzer (South Africa), Berni Searle (South Africa), Malick Sidibé (Mali), Djibril Sy (Senegal), Guy Tillim (South Africa), and Iké Udé, (Nigeria)
