Photo: is a multi-operation platform for the development and promotion of socially engaged photography practices, photographers and critical visual culture. Through curatorial and educational projects throughout the African continent and beyond, Photo: promotes emerging and practicing photographers and photography with the aim to encourage critical and experimental approaches/responses, that challenge and stimulate how we think about photography and our world. Further, through commissioning, producing and connecting photography projects and practitioners, Photo: wants to encourage dialogue, exchange, engagement and participation. Central to its vision, is the idea that photography can be a delicate tool for social change.
