« Les photographes face à l'environnement »

DakarGoethe-Institut Dakar21 January 2015 - 20 February 2015
« Les photographes face à l'environnement »

« Les photographes face à l'environnement »

Many Senegalese photographers advocate for a greater awareness for the environment. Their photographic work makes reference to nature as a spiritual place and source of life, shows various ills, is concerned with resources or people and their environment.
In the process, photography as a medium emphasises its claim to the role of a social stakeholder in a variety of ways: it is a portrayal as well as a resourceful medium, it depicts reality as well as its caricatures and dreams, raises questions or invents utopian fantasies.
The exhibition presents a selection of works by photographers of the new generation from Dakar, Angelina Nwachukwu, Omar Victor Diop, Ibrahima Thiam as well as one of the doyens of Senegalese photography, Djibril Sy.
Curator: Bärbel Küster
