As we prepare for the second half of the year, we at Unpublished Africa would like to take a moment to thank you - for participating in our initiatives, supporting our work, sharing an African photographer’s post or even talking about our work and spreading the word!

To date, we have impacted (and learned from) photographers in 26+ African countries through our exhibitions, publications and programs and we are excited to do more as the year goes on.

Our work is geared to only showcasing and shifting the African narrative, but creating entry level opportunities that serve as path ways for creatives to build sustainable careers.

This year we have

  • Published Africa Published Volume 3 titled “Lost in Translation” featuring work be Creative Business Studio cohort 3 alumni.

  • Held a a women’s exhibition themed “I’d Be Empowered If…”

  • Published a white paper titled “I’d Be Empowered If… - Unlocking True Empowerment for Africa Women in Photography”

  • We have published our second volume of From the Africa Streets featuring work from our 2024 photo walks (Harare, Luanda, Lusaka) in English and Portuguese

  • Held an exhibition in Luanda, Angola themed Luanda Photo Walk hosted by Leonardo Thomas

And we still have more to do!

If you are interested in collaborating with us, please get in touch, and if you would like to participate in our initiatives, be on the look out for our opportunity call outs.
