Africa Utopia: The Black Chronicles Projection - 11-14.09.14
Discover photographs of The African Choir, who toured Britain in 1891-93. This digital slideshow projected onto the exterior of Royal Festival Hall consists of 30 extraordinary images from the Hulton Archive.
The photographs were taken by the London Stereoscopic Company studios at the end of the 19th century. They include individual portraits of the 16 performers from South Africa, which have never been seen before.
The projection at Africa Utopia is the first in a series of image projection campaigns presented by Autograph ABP as part of theirMissing Chapter/The Black Chronicles research and exhibition project, curated by Renée Mussai and Mark Sealy. A selection of photographs are also on display in the foyer of Royal Festival Hall.
Autograph ABP is a charity that works internationally in photography, film, cultural identity, race, representation and human rights.
Supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
