Reflections on the Self - Five African Women Photographers

If you were like me and you weren't in the country for the touring exhibition Reflections on the Self at Southbank London. Then you also missed out on the photo exhibition which presented women’s visual narratives, as told through self-portraits and portraits of other women. 

Then fear not here's a little recap of the women photographers and some of their photo's. Reflections on the Self is curated by Christine Eyene. She is Curator of Gwanza, Month of Photography 2011, Zimbabwe, and the African section of Photoquai 2011, Biennial of World Images, Musée du Quai Branly, Paris. The exhibition forms part of Southbank Centre’s Women of the World – WOW, a three-day Festival, (11-13 March) celebrating and promoting women.
