The New African Photography - Emeka Okereke: Invisible Borders

“100 years ago, photography was a colonial tool…”

“A photography is a window and not the view” - Emeka Okereke

For decades, the camera was used as a tool through which colonial governments and Western photojournalists alike imposed their own views on Africa through the restrictions of 2D imagery, defining Africa without much, if any, input from those whose faces were plastered on postcards, posters, magazines and media platforms across the world.

Profiling a new crop of African photographers using their lens to transform and inspire both change and development, Al Jazeera opens us up to the world of Nigerian photographer Emeka Okereke, founder of Invisible Borders - a organization that gives ‘African artists a space to define Africa for themselves’. In this video, the group travels on their annual roadtrip within Africa, going from Lagos to Kinshasa, as a means of developing young African artists through the lens of photojournalism.

A must-watch journey.

“Swahili women of Pate Island traditionally wear gold jewellery, much of which is not seen elsewhere and is thought to be of local design. Abundent in the 16th century, it is now only found amonger the older women of a few Pate families. Here a Pate woman’s ears are trimmed with small gold rings ‘Kipete’, below which hang a larger crescent earring and a gold earlobe disc known as ‘kuta’ | ©Angela Fisher, Africa Adorned, 1984
