Pieter Hugo, Mallam Galadima Ahamadu with Jamis, Abuja, Nigeria, 2005
This issue features the work of three outstanding photographers currently working in Africa whose work has yet to be adequately exhibited in the UK. Pieter Hugo’s series of dignified portraits of working men in Ghana and Nigeria moves between photojournalism and fine art photography. In the series Jo’burg, Guy Tillim considers the private lives of the residents of inner-city Johannesburg, the often-forgotten subjects of the decay and renewal of a city undergoing radical transformation. Hentie van der Merwe continues his interest in issues of identity and gender in Trappings which considers the place of militarism in the construction of masculine identity.

We present the first publication of
Border, Mitra Tabrizian’s new series which deals with the subject of exile. Her thoughtful combinations of image and personal narratives describe the complexity of life for refugees, émigrés and exiles living in the UK. Stuart Franklin has travelled extensively to produce large-format photographs on the subject of Europe’s changing landscapes – hot cities, floods, plastic farming and disappearing glaciers. We preview these alarming images, which will be included in Franklin’s 2008 monograph on the subject.
