Saving Africa's photographic heritage
Saving Africa's photographic heritage
April 16, 2014
Resolution
From 22 to 25 April 2014, international experts from ten different countries will be meeting in the city of Porto-Novo, Benin to discuss the preservation of African photography collections and archives.
Lack of adequate storage facilities, challenging environmental conditions and theft of valuable prints for international resales are a growing threat to Africa's photography archives.
The pilot workshop, titled West African Image Lab, aims to address these issues and develop solutions. The four-day event is organised by Resolution, a non-profit organisation dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Africa's photographic legacy.
