A window on today’s Africa
The current exhibition at the International Center of Photography in New York, “Snap Judgments”, is, according to the New York Times, “fantastic, stimulating, astringent, brimming with life”. The exhibition’s curator, Okwul Enwezor, wants to counter the “Afro-pessimism” that most of us feel when we see images of Africa on the evening news.
The works in this show, many of them produced since 2000, often feature conceptual art, documentary, and fashion photography. Through these works, contemporary artists and photographers introduce us to a new way to look at the Africa of today, in all its many variations.
