Africa State of Mind gathers together the work of an emergent
generation of photographers from across Africa, including both the
Maghreb and sub-Saharan Africa. It is both a summation of new
photographic practice from the last decade and an exploration of
how contemporary photographers from the continent are exploring
ideas of 'Africanness' to reveal Africa to be a psychological space
as much as a physical territory - a state of mind as much as a
geographical place. Dispensing with the western colonial view of
Africa in purely geographic or topographic terms, Ekow Eshun
presents Africa State of Mind in four thematic parts: Hybrid
Cities; Inner Landscapes; Zones of Freedom; and Myth and Memory.
Each theme, introduced by a text by Eshun, presents selections of
work by a new wave of African photographers who are looking both
outward and inward: capturing life among the sprawling cities and
multitudinous conurbations of the continent, turning the legacy of
the continent's history into the source of resonant new myths and
dreamscapes and exploring questions of gender, sexuality and
identity. Each of the photographers seeks to capture the experience
of what it means, and how it feels, to live in Africa today.
