Open Call for Exhibition: Streets as Archives

Unpublished Africa invites photographers across the continent to submit work for consideration in Streets as Archives, our upcoming black and white group photography exhibition.

We are looking for images that explore African streets as spaces of memory, movement, identity, community, labour, culture, and everyday life.

This exhibition continues our work of creating platforms for African visual storytellers to share work, build visibility, and contribute to how African stories are seen and remembered.
