Gerald Annan-Forson “Revolution and Image-making in Postcolonial Ghana” at Sharjah Art Foundation

In collaboration with The Africa Institute, SAF presents the first retrospective of the work of Ghanaian photographer Gerald Annan-Forson. Featuring photographs primarily taken between 1979 and 1985, “Revolution and Image-making in Postcolonial Ghana” traces the political and social life of Ghana during a period of revolution and transformation captured through the photographer’s lens. The exhibition will offer a visual story of postcolonial Ghana and its struggles and aspirations in the post-independence period. The photographer’s style of composition, lens focus, formal repetitions, character representation, and long-term commitment to documenting the changing landscape of Accra, Ghana, have reshaped our understanding of photography as a tool of radical image-making.
