Individual Project

In the section of this exhibition 'Keep the Best of Your Life' Andrea Stultiens showcases the ways in which Ugandans have presented and are presenting themselves, through a selection of images from the collection of History in Progress Uganda and the work of contemporary Ugandan photographers.

Making Oneself is a twofold exhibition of both historical investigations and contemporary showcases of photo studio practises in South and Southeast Asia and Uganda, incorporating archival material from the (colonial) past with present-day social and political contextualisation. The exhibition explores the process of cultural adoption and adaptation of photographic portrait traditions through the course of history in the respective regions.
