Viewing A World in Common: Contemporary African Photography 

Head to Bankside for the launch of Tate Modern’s latest blockbuster exhibition, A World in Common: Contemporary African Photography. Celebrating the vast landscape of contemporary African photography today, this exhibition spotlights 36 artists from different generations and geographies, including George Osodi, Julianknxx and François-Xavier Gbré. 

Exploring Africa’s histories and reimagining its diverse cultures and narratives, A World in Common examines legacies of the past while imagining more hopeful futures. Crossing time zones, borders and generations, it looks at themes of spirituality, identity, urbanism and climate emergency to show how photography allows the past and the future to co-exist in powerful and transformative ways.

Afterwards, make for ‘Common Ground’, a free public space created by London-based designer and photographer Roman Mckenzie that encourages connectivity. Decked out with sofas and soft furnishings, it invites visitors to take a moment for themselves. Why not dive into a good book or listen to the ready-made curated playlist on hand — a treat for all the senses.
