Advocacy through art: challenging traditional representations of Africa

Join Ilvy at Tate Modern art gallery in London as she discusses the incredible exhibition A World in Common: Contemporary African Photography with Aïda Muluneh, a fellow Canon Ambassador whose work features in the exhibition and Osei Bonsu who curated it.  Both our guests are working to change the perception of Africa through art. They challenge misrepresentation and the perpetuation of stereotypes by creating or curating work that challenges expectations and improved representation within the industry.  This conversation covers everything from the debate on whether photojournalism can be considered art, advice for the next generation of photographers and the importance of printed work, as well as its challenges.  You can watch the video podcast on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/_hYC4iXOHcA  A World in Common: Contemporary African Photography runs until 14th January 2024.
