ON SEEING & BEING SEEN
Beyond the Easy Frame
A four-part conversation series co-curated by The VII Foundation and PLATFORM 2020
This series brings together practitioners connected to Africa and SWANA whose work pushes beyond stereotype, spectacle and crisis-led narratives. Across four live conversations, they reflect on authorship, memory, representation and the responsibilities that come with making images today. These are not conversations about looking from a distance, but about lived experience, self-definition and the power of telling one’s own story.
With support from PhotoWings.

Who decides how memory endures and what role does photography play in shaping collective narratives?
