Tate gallery presents ‘A World In Common: Contemporary African Photography’, on display from July 6, 2023, to January 14, 2024.

This exhibition brings together a collective of artists from varying generations, showcasing the multifaceted ways in which photography, film, sound, and more have been employed to reinterpret Africa’s rich cultural tapestry and historical narratives.

This showcase transcends the conventional format of a photography exhibition, delving into the intricate paths images take through time and space. It presents spirituality, identity, urban life, and climate change themes, guiding viewers through tranquil dreamscapes and lively city scenes. ‘A World In Common: Contemporary African Photography’ navigates through Africa’s diverse landscapes, boundaries, and time zones alongside the artists, demonstrating how photography bridges the gap between the past and future in a manner that is both evocative and transformative.

Tate gallery aims to enrich the public’s appreciation and comprehension of British art spanning from the 16th century to the present day and of international modern and contemporary art.
