Event, £5 / £4 Sat 6 Oct, 2 - 3pm Autograph, London <https://autograph-abp.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=10efeff8472238c094104132f&id=0d94305d77&e=51b4b4c77d> Read more > In his exhibition Liberty / Diaspora, Senegalese artist Omar Victor Diop recasts history and the global politics of black resistance. Diop often appears as the main character in his richly detailed photographs - commemorating slave revolts, independence movements, social justice campaigns, and four centuries of notable Africans in the diaspora. For Diop, they constitute ‘a reinvented narrative of the history of black people, and therefore, the history of humanity and of the concept of Freedom’. Join us for a gallery tour with the artist and Autograph’s Senior Curator Renée Mussai, exploring Diop’s practice and the power of self-portraiture to challenge monolithic history telling. This event is a walk around the gallery, and will be standing. About the Artist Omar Victor Diop (b. 1980, Dakar, Senegal) developed his interest in photography and design at an early age and uses the medium to capture the diversity of modern African societies and lifestyles. Following acclaim for his early conceptual projects, he left his career in corporate communications to pursue life as an artist. Diop’s body of work includes fine art, fashion and portrait photography – including The Studio of Vanities, a series of staged portraits showing the new faces of art and culture scenes in African urban centres. Diop fuses photography with other art forms, and often incorporates costume design, styling and creative writing to give life to his projects. <https://autograph-abp.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=10efeff8472238c094104132f&id=f911317b9f&e=51b4b4c77d> Read more > <https://autograph-abp.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=10efeff8472238c094104132f&id=04183344d7&e=51b4b4c77d> Image removed by sender.
