A bold and dynamic survey of contemporary street photography from across Africa, featuring leading image makers shaping a vibrant and exciting genre.
Energetic, colourful, experimental: street photography across Africa has a well-established and complex history, and its own unique dynamic. From classic compositions of architecture, people and movement, to street-style portraits and photographs of youth culture, music and dance - the street becomes a stage.
