This catalogue is published to accompany an exhibition celebrating fifty years of African photography, illustrating how collective identities of postcolonial Africa were built.   Panafricanism has become something concrete in the exchange between artists, above all in connection with the elaboration of common aesthetic and research. Photography, in the process of emancipation and the writing of an endogenous history, is undoubtedly the best support: African photographers&#8217; innovative role will therefore be highlighted in the process of understanding generational and social changes.   The catalogue will include an introduction by Simon Njami and a text by Jean-Loup Pivin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This catalogue is published to accompany an exhibition celebrating fifty years of African photography, illustrating how collective identities of postcolonial Africa were built.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10303,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5485],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-10302","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-photography","7":"author-by-author-frank-vanhaecke","8":"author-by-author-njami-simon","9":"publisher-silvana","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>A Useful Dream - ACC Art Books UK<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Title: A Useful Dream, Pages: 192 Pages, Publish Date: 27th Jun 2018, Author: Frank Vanhaecke, Njami Simon, ISBN: 9788836616596.
