Join us on Wednesday, March 12th at 6:30PM as The Africa Center presents Capturing “Between”: Yusuf Ahmed and Andina Marie Osorio in Conversation with Joyous R. Pierce. This program brings together photographers Yusuf Ahmed and Andina Marie Osorio in conversation with scholar Joyous R. Pierce about the importance of visual art and personal archives in navigating the various states of “betweenness” that affect the African Diaspora.
Yusuf Ahmed’s debut exhibition Between Nostalgia & Dreams is currently on view at The Africa Center. In Between Nostalgia & Dreams, Ahmed explores what we choose to remember, what faces erasure, and which stories endure. Through 15 photographic stories tracing connections from Nairobi to New York, Addis Ababa to Ohio, Ahmed explores and archives personal histories of adoption, ancestry, and finding community after coming out, and reflects on how we hold onto identities that now seem distant.
