About

The first and largest exhibition of African photography in Asia "Marvellous Realism" will premiere at Fotografiska Shanghai on 30 August 2024. The exhibition is curated by Ekow Eshun, project led by Lucy MacGarry, and proudly presented by Fotografiska in partnership with the KT Wong Foundation.

Focused primarily on sub-Saharan African countries, "Marvellous Realism" is transnational in outlook, the exhibition presents work by established and emerging artists using photography and film as a means to envisage contemporary African cultural identity as a state of ongoing possibility, in which myth, memory and movement weave together into a rich tapestry of expansively imaginative art works.
