Exhibition : Sub-Saharan Journeys 2010
John Kenny
09-JUL-2010 to 01-AUG-2010
11am-6pm
In 2006, the photographer John Kenny began a number of journeys through
hundreds of the most remote communities of Sub-Saharan Africa, covering a
total of 12 African countries. The images on display highlight the
lives of Africa's nomadic and semi-nomadic pastoralists. Managing to
flourish in the face of adversity, these societies have adapted to the
scarcity of water and pasture in their regions over hundreds of years.
Now, in the 21st century, these pastoralists face many challenges such
as the spread of urbanisation and droughts that have increased in both
their severity and frequency, continuing to impinge on their ways of
life and threaten their chances of survival. Kenny's portraits of
individuals from Ethiopian and Namibian communities were taken without
flash or studio equipment, instead relying on light reflected from the
ground. This simplicity in technique mirrors the way of life of these
communities who face a daily struggle to hold on to their traditions in a
rapidly changing world.
The exhibition is held at 3 Bedfordbury Gallery, Covent Garden.
