Familial gaze: the black photographers drawing on their family albums Lanre Bakare Arts and culture correspondent
Gabriel Moses regularly flicked through his family photo albums as he grew up in south London. Shot by a local photographer, the images are simple snapshots that capture his Nigerian family at home in Catford.
“You could see that there’s a lot of personality in the images,” he says. “You can feel that there’s a lot of energy and for me now as a photographer that’s what I want to produce for my generation.”
For Moses and a group of young black photographers, the family photo album has become an unlikely creative catalyst. Moses, the Swedish-Somali artist Ikram Abdulkadir, the Nigerian photographer Isabel Okoro and the Ethiopian-American filmmaker and photographer Dawit NM have all looked into their old albums for inspiration.
