Reflections on the Self features five contemporary African women photographers whose work deals with women’s narratives through self-portraits or portraits of others.

The exhibition, curated by Christine Eyene, focuses on female photographic practice in Africa and the diaspora, and examines the gaze of women photographers and how this is informed by the politics of representation. The title refers literally to the mirror image and also to photography as a means of thinking about the self, as both subject and object.
