THE STORY, IN BRIEF
ART AFRICA interviewed curator Oluremi C. Onabanjo about Ideas of Africa: Portraiture and Political Imagination, which opened at New York’s Museum of Modern Art in December 2025. She discussed photographic portraits as collaborations between sitters and image-makers rather than straightforward records of identity. Bringing African and diasporic photographs into dialogue, the exhibition explored how images circulated across regions and how curators can acknowledge gaps in photographic archives without closing down interpretation.
