This year the international biennale Fotofest is dedicated to the contemporary photography of Africa. The CaviArt gallery will present two exhibitions.
The first exhibition showcases photographs that were shot in 1957 in Northern and Southern Sudan by Soviet photojournalist and exhibition curator Nikolay Drachinsky (1917-1978). This exhibition comprises 28 color and black-and-white prints from the original negatives. These works make up one of the first photo reportages from the African continent published in Soviet media. While depicting reality from the perspective of class theory and anti-colonialism, Drachinsky’s visual story from Sudan is rich with his profoundly personal approach.
The second exhibition features a collection of photos taken by Houston photographers Misha Tuvin and Natasha Artushin during their 2017 travel to Ethiopia, Madagascar, and Namibia.
Following the opening reception, the exhibitions will be on view until April 17.
