Bringing together more than 100 works, this exhibition at Tate Modern (6 July–14 January 2024) reveals how contemporary African photographers are both reflecting on the continent’s rich heritage and imagining a shared future. Images of traditional rulers in full regalia by George Osodi are presented alongside vivid interpretations of masks and masquerades by Zina Saro-Wiwa, Edgar Chagas and others; the legacy of the tradition of studio portraiture on the continent is felt in works by Santu Mofokeng and Hassan Hajjaj, while reflections on the threat posed disproportionately to Africa by climate change are the focus on the final stages of the show.
