Sanlé Sory’s colour portraits illuminate life in Burkina Faso

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

The Photographers’ Gallery in London presents Colour Years, an exhibition of Sanlé Sory’s colour photographs from Burkina Faso. ART AFRICA reports that the Burkinabé photographer began experimenting with colour in the mid-1980s at his Volta Photo studio in Bobo-Dioulasso. Curated by Taous Dahmani, the presentation includes restored prints and Volta Jazz record covers, examining portraiture, self-representation and everyday life after independence.
