Contemporary African Photography and Video Art\u003c\/em\u003e from The Walther Collection unites the perspectives of 14 contemporary artists of African descent, who investigate social identity, questions of belonging, and an array of sociopolitical concerns—including migration, lineage, the legacies of colonialism and Calvinism, and local custom—as well as personal experiences in Africa and the African diaspora.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy highlighting specific creative approaches and studying the sites and collective platforms that enable these practices, this book examines the critical mass that has gathered across generations of African image-makers and lens-based artists. In accentuating different perspectives within this generation and considering the infrastructures that often link them, \u003cem\u003eRecent Histories\u003c\/em\u003e provides a point of entry to engage critically with current practices, and opens up considerations about how to conceptualise the frameworks of contemporary African photography and video art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Walther Collection is pleased to present \u003cem\u003eRecent Histories.
