CLPA News 2019 #1
The latest issue of the CLPA News introduces our 2019 focus on gender. Questions about African women’s visibility and representation, history, and the workplace will be addressed by invited contributors and writers. In this issue Candice Jansen points to the multiplicity and depth of reading women’s role in photography in Africa and their absence in recorded history.
CLPA members respond to questions of how photography archives within their countries affect their educational strategies, identities, narratives and the contemporary concerns for representation across the spectrum in photography. It is a wide scope of understanding how members reflect on the state and role of archives on the continent and how this affects their role as educators.
In addition to the teaching and training activities from members, there is also a featured interview on Seydou Camara, Founder of Yamarou-Photo by Maheder Haileselassie.
This issue was guest edited by Maheder Haileselassie, Director of the Centre for Photography in Ethiopia.
The CLPA (Centres of Learning for Photography in Africa) newsletter was established in 2016 with the support of the Goethe-Institut: initially a closed newsletter for network members to keep abreast with photography education related activities and developments across Africa. Photo: currently spearheads the CLPA newsletter as the main editor with rotating guest editors from CLPA’s member institutions.
