A World in Common: Contemporary African Photography featuring photographs by gallery artist Lazhar Mansouri is reviewed in South London Press. The exhibition is curated by Osei Bonsu, curator of International Art at the Tate Modern, and will be on view through January 14, 2024.
"The exhibition will also explore the rise of studio photography across the continent during the 1950s and 1960s, a time when many African nations gained independence.
Working within their communities, pioneering photographers such as James Barnor in Ghana and Lazhar Mansouri in Algeria, photographed families and individuals who would gather proudly to have their portraits taken, often for the first time."
