A visual journey across mid-century Africa and America.
Through a dialogue between black-and-white and color photography, Richard Hay Jr. reveals the quiet poetry of everyday life in mid-century West Africa and America. Rather than focusing on narratives of poverty, conflict, or exoticism, Hay approaches his subjects with a distinctly artistic lens, lyrically combining shared human experiences with local and global material culture.
At times contextually ambiguous, the photographs invite contemplation of both the diversities and affinities between cultures separated by an ocean and decades in time. Framed by an insightful essay from renowned Nigerian author Emmanuel Iduma, Hay's images reveal echoes that continue to resonate today—moving seamlessly backward and forward through time.
Beautifully produced by Kehrer Verlag, this hardcover volume offers readers a thoughtful photographic exploration of memory, identity, and the universal moments that connect people across continents. -
