  • RESOUNDING WITH ECHOES: SOJOURNS ACROSS AFRICA AND AMERICA by Richard Hay Jr

A visual journey across mid-century Africa and America

Through a dialogue between black-and-white and color photography, Richard Hay Jr. reveals the quiet poetry of everyday life in midcentury West Africa and America. Rather than focusing on narratives of poverty, conflict, or exoticism, Hay approaches his subjects with a distinctly artistic lens, lyrically combining shared human experiences with local and global material culture. At times contextually ambiguous, the photographs taken with a Leica invite contemplation of diversities and affinities between cultures that are an ocean apart and decades removed in time. Framed by an essay by renowned Nigerian author Emmanuel Iduma, Hay's images reveal echoes that reverberate even today--moving backward and forward in time.
