Seminar at Nubuke Foundation

The effects of the photographer's perspective were the subject of Nana Kofi Acquah's talk in the second
series on photography. Part of his presentation looked at stereotype 'African' images emerging from the
pre-colonial era. The thorny subject of the African identity in the artist's work as always one which
gets passions rising and this was no exception.
