Dynamic images from the MFAH photography collection take you to sub-Saharan Africa. Travel from Benin to Zimbabwe and beyond with artists who are linked by geography and whose work reflects the borderless territory of contemporary photography.

The list of premier photographers from Africa is ever-growing, with artists from midcentury being given a place in the larger history of the medium.
