Did You Know?

Ghanaian Russian photographer Liz Johnson Artur began exploring photography as a way to connect with other people of African descent.

Description

Born in Bulgaria, educated in Germany, and based in London since 1991, Liz Johnson Artur first took up a camera after a stay with a Russian family in a predominantly Black neighborhood in Brooklyn. She had been raised in Germany by her Russian mother; it was her first extensive exposure to Black people. Johnson Artur decided that she "wanted to record the normality of black lives and black culture, which is something that isn't often reflected in the mainstream media."
