A discussion centred on black women telling their own stories and reclaiming the African narrative.
The discussion examines the current photojournalistic practice in Africa and its challenges, as well as the World Press Photo Contest. The discussion is also a platform for female photojournalists, documentary photographers, storytellers and visual activists to voice their critique of the current photography discourses in order to frame a future which amplifies women’s voices in photography across the continent. The debate will also ask questions on how black women creatives can be hired or given work based on their capabilities.
Facilitated by Ruth Motau (South Africa). With Fati Abubaker (Nigeria), DeLovie Kwagala (Uganda), Polly Irungu (USA) and Juliette Garms (Netherlands).
