| In past years some of my Africa photos have been shown at the Photographers' Gallery in London and the Marjorie Niekrug Gallery in New York. Photos of life aboard traditional Arab dhows were exhibited in summer, 2002, at the Ziff festival of dhow countries in Zanzibar.
On this page are images from two exhibitions--'Reporting the World', John Pilger's 'Great Eyewitness Photographers', at the Barbican, London, across Australia and elsewhere, from summer 2001; and Okwui Enwezor's 'The Short Century', Independence and Liberation Movements in Africa, shown in Munich, Chicago and MoMA, New York, 2001-2002 |
