Omar Victor Diop: Diaspora

Omar Victor Diop: Diaspora

Named by the New York Times as one of the ‘cultural shapers of Africa’s cultural renaissance’. Prix Pictet nominated photographer Omar Victor Diop examines the interplay between African and diasporic experiences through his photography, knitting together the past and present in bold, color-block images. In this special mini-documentary and podcast, Diop shares a glimpse into his photography production, his creative journey towards self-portraiture, and the homage he pays to Black protests across eras and countries by embodying historical figures.
