Africa Rising is the inaugural exhibition of FAM’s new collection of 21st-century Africa photography, a sampling of the recent explosion of fine art photography on the continent. The exhibition includes 50 artworks by 33 artists from 17 of Africa’s 54 countries, including photographs by internationally acclaimed artists Zanele Muholi (South Africa), Lalla Essaydi (Morocco), and Aida Muluneh (Ethiopia). Themes that recur across this visually stunning show include identity in the aftermath of colonialism, environmental exploitation and decay, female empowerment, and Afro-Futurism. Africa Rising, and the expansion of FAM’s collection, are supported by a generous grant from the Geneviève McMillan - Reba Stewart Foundation.
