A conversation between filmmaker Sosena Solomon, designer and urban scholar/theorist Mpho Matsipa, and anthropologist Natacha Nsabimana.  This episode was recorded at e-flux Screening Room before a screening of Merkato, curated by Natacha Nsabimana. Sosena Solomon's Merkato is a documentary tracing the lives of four people as they navigate the demands of life and work in one of the biggest markets in Africa in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Filmed on location in Merkato, before a radical architectural transformation, Solomon's documentary invites us to ask expansive questions about space, architecture, transition, and preservation. Sosena Solomon is an Ethiopian-American social documentary film and multimedia visual artist whose work explores cross-sections of various subcultures and communities in flux, carefully teasing out cultural nuances and capturing personal narratives through arresting visual storytelling. Solomon has worked for many years in the commercial and nonprofit sectors as a director and cinematographer on many short film projects, including Dreaming of Jerusalem, a Discovery-plus original documentary about the Ethiopian-Jewish community in Gondar, and Merkato. She has exhibited work at the Sundance Film Festival, Cinema Africa, Tribeca, and DOC NYC. She earned her BA in Television Production from Temple University and her MFA in Social Documentary film from the School of Visual Arts. Solomon is currently lecturing in the Fine Arts Department at the University of Pennsylvania's Stuart Weitzman School of Design, and working with the Metropolitan Museum of Art to create new digital and in-gallery content that will reframe the Museum's African art galleries. Mpho Matsipa is an educator, researcher, and independent curator.  Matsipa holds a PhD in Architecture from the University of California, Berkeley, pursued as a Fulbright Scholar. She has curated several exhibitions, discursive platforms, and experimental architectural research including the Venice International Architecture Biennale (2008; 2021); African Mobilities at the Architecture Museum, Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich (2018); and Studio-X Johannesburg, in South Africa (2014–16). Her curatorial and research interests are at the intersection of urban studies, experimental architecture, and visual art. Mpho is an associate curator for the Lubumbashi Biennale, in the Democratic Republic of Congo (2024) and she teaches History and Theory at SCI-Arc. Natacha Nsabimana teaches in the anthropology department at the university of Chicago. Her research and teaching interests include postcolonial critique, musical movements, and the cultural and political worlds of African peoples on the continent and in the diaspora. The African Film Institute aims to create a home and a place of intimacy with African cinema in New York, through developing gradually and organically a viewing program animated by fellowships; a growing library; an active writers' room; and an expanding catalog of recorded dialogs. The African Film Institute draws from the visual cultures that view cinema as an evening school: a popular information system in the service of education, aesthetic experience, and public dissemination—employing a methodology concerning the use of cinema's collective production, and investing in viewing methods informed by different uses of time, visual and textual histories, and social struggles and hopes in mutuality between their own locality and the world at large. The African Film Institute is convened by Christian Nyampeta and hosted by e-flux Screening Room.

On this week's episode of the B&H Photography Podcast, we welcome the founder and Executive Director of the Social Documentary Network, Glen Ruga, and photographer Sofia Aldinio, who is the recipient of the 2021 ZEKE Award for Documentary Photography, presented by the Social Documentary Network.   As should be clear, our conversation today revolves around the Social Documentary Network, or “SDN,” and we learn about this community of documentary photographers and its website on which more than three thousand documentary series have been uploaded and are available for viewing. Ruga tells of the evolution of the site since its 2008 inception, and how adding classes, awards, portfolio reviews, and most important, the online and print magazine ZEKE has led to the growth of this platform, which is open to all photographers. Our chat also draws from Ruga's photography work and thoughts on documentary, in general.   In the second half of the show we speak with Aldinio, a past guest, about “Awake in the Desert Land,” her photo series that received the ZEKE prize. Aldinio tells of the circumstances that brought her to Baja California, Mexico, during 2020 and this intimate series on village communities affected by climate change. We also speak with Aldinio about her working methods, about shelving her normal Canon system for a more stealth FUJIFILM, about making relationships with subjects, and the feedback and support she received from her SDN workshop leaders.   We wrap by previewing the Social Documentary Network events and exhibits at Photoville 2021 and Aldinio's presentation on her award-winning series.   Guests: Sofia Aldinio and Glenn Ruga Photograph © Sofia Aldinio

Playlist: The Juicy Part (2019) - Jess Shane Krabat (2019, InTerjeCtions EP) - Akkamiau Goa Live set (2018) - Leonie Roessler One Blanket Lost (2010 short version) - Meira Asher Jess Shane is a Canadian audio producer based in New York. Her work has aired on programs including the BBC's Short Cuts, WBEZ's Re:Sound, and CBC's The Doc Project, Love Me, and Ideas.  She is also the co-founder of Constellations, a collective and podcast for sound art and experimental audio. Jess was a producer on CBC's Personal Best and Mic Drop. Her love of audio was born from her community arts practice, where she collaborated with communities in spaces across Toronto to design collaborative audio-visual celebrations and installations. She is currently pursuing an MFA candidate in Hunter College's Integrated Media Arts program, with a focus on collaborative documentary practices.  About ‘The Juicy Part': I've noticed a mounting and disturbing trend in ‘content' and documentary, whereby makers contextualize their traumatic experiences in terms of traditional narrative arcs, creating suspense, climax, and resolution. In so doing, they position ‘story' as trauma as opposed to the systems and power structures that enable such trauma to occur. This is not to say I don't believe that retelling details of trama are not important -- but I feel that retelling them in the context of an uncontrolled broadcast environment, or in terms of entertainment platforms, is very different from recounting them to a loved one or a therapist. On YouTube, I see this trend in abundance. It's difficult to generalize because different users us the platform to share stories in different contexts: their words are directed towards various audiences even though they're available to all. For this piece, I sourced segments of confessional Youtube videos in which this occurs; I often noted a disconnect between people relaying their trauma with sincerity, while also using devices of narrative structure to entice listeners to listen in closer. I am skeptical of the benefit of people commodifying their own stories in this way. Akkamiau has performed experimental audiovisual shows since 2006. In 2012 she co-founded audiovisual interactive collective StratoFyzika, and has launched and performs live with the latest experimental techno project hiT͟Hərˈto͞o. Akkamiau hosted radio shows at Colaboradio and Cashmere radio and regularly DJs on local techno events in Berlin.  About ‘Krabat': It deals with human sounds, spoken language and its emotional charge, and with a subjective sound environment, in a way of internal sound ecology. It is part of her InTerjeCtions EP from 2019. Leonie Roessler - Composer and Performer raised in Germany and the US, now based in The Hague, Netherlands. Leonie captures her environment through field recordings, which she uses for radio pieces, sound installations, and compositions for soloists and ensembles. She had recent residencies at New Media Society and Limited Access Festival (Iran), Forum Wallis (Switzerland), and The Story of Space Festival (India), and Berlin Circus Biennale (Germany), and Studio LOOS (Netherlands). About ‘Goa Live Set': This piece was performed live at Helicopter, Den Haag in November of 2018. It is entirely made of field recordings that Leonie recorded in Goa in 2017 during her residency for The Story of Space Festival. Meira Asher -The research areas of composer, performer and HR activist Meira Asher include Social Documentary and the Amplification of the Human Body. When living in The Netherlands she was co-founder of the bodylab art foundation in The Hague (2001-2011). Currently she is a lecturer at Haifa University's Art School, and curator-presenter of the independent Radio Art program radioart106 since 2014, affiliated with the Radia.fm network. Her recent works include “from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea - a Soundscape of an Occupation” for KUNSTRADIO (Vienna) and a 2LP album and performance of Antonin Artaud's radio creation “To Have Done with the Judgement of God” (1947). About ‘One Blanket Lost': The trafficking of Nigerian girls for prostitution in Spain started in the early 90s, frequently involving long transits in the Algerian and Moroccan deserts. 'One blanket lost', a common expression used by the traffickers, 'mourns' the loss of blankets in which they buried girls who died on the way. Erica was the sole surviver from the boat which carried her to Spanish waters. She lost her baby girl and boyfriend at sea, after which she started paying a 42,000 Euro debt to her madam. Mixed and mastered by Paul Kendall, Commissioned by ORF Kunstradio, Austria.

This episode is dedicated to the work of the late British documentary photographer Tish Murtha, whose work can currently be seen at The Photographer's Gallery in London. The Tish Murtha: Works 1976-1991 exhibition covers 6 bodies of work; Newport Pub (1976/78); Elswick Kids (1978); Juvenile Jazz Bands (1979); Youth Unemployment (1980); London by Night (1983) and Elswick Revisited (1987 – 1991). Tish Murtha was a photographer from the north east of England, whose work has only recently started receiving the recognition I think it deserves. Sadly Murtha died in 2013, aged just 56, but her daughter Ella has done a fantastic job of getting her mother's photographic archive out there, including getting two books published through kickstarter. Murtha concentrated on documenting the working class and the marginalised, mainly communities around Newcastle upon Tyne and the North East of England. She wasn't documenting from the outside, she was documenting from the inside, and that's why her photos are so successful. She manages to evoke empathy without becoming sentimental. Apologies to any Geordies if I've been mispronouncing 'Elswick' - I believe it may be a silent W! Do visit Tish Murtha's website, run by her daughter Ella. You can now buy the book of her series Youth Unemployment, or help fund the publication of Elswish Kids via Kickstarter. There's an interesting 5-minute video of the curators talking about the exhibition. You can find some of the photos discussed on our Pinterest page for this episode.

On today’s episode of the B&H Photography Podcast, we discuss long-term documentary projects, particularly those that deal with immigration and social issues. Both of our guests are currently working on projects that span several years, and we talk about the commitment, the technique, the goals, and the gear that go into their work. Our first guest is Griselda San Martin, a Spanish photographer who has been telling stories of immigration, deportation, and the often-blurred lines of national identity. One of her series profiles Las Delfinas, a girl’s flag-football team from a high school, in Tijuana, Mexico. Her project on families who meet on both sides of the U.S.–Mexico border wall for weekly reunions centers on a deported man who sings through the wall to his daughter on the other side, and her current four-year project profiles U.S. veterans being deported as a consequence of criminal convictions. After a break, we speak with Salwan Georges, a staff photographer for the Detroit Free Press who, in addition to his daily assignments, is documenting the immigrant communities of Dearborn and Detroit, Michigan. This is a subject close to his heart—Georges came to the United States as a refugee, in 2004. With San Martin and Georges, we talk about the practical aspects of their work, from camera choices to raising funds to simply making time for the work. We also discuss communication, establishing trust with subjects and the inspiration and goals for their projects. Finally, because both photographers incorporate video into their work, we ask if there is a limit to what a still photo enables them to say.

La Strada is an outstanding catalogue of Italian street photographs from the 1960's. Works from the private collection of Keith de Lellis exhibit the new renaissance of post-WWII Italy. These works show the influence of the established street photography from photojournalists such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, W Eugene Smith and Robert Frank. These influences are projected on to an Italian landscape here and represent photography that is quite unique and beautiful.

"Hope is like a path in the countryside," wrote Chinese essayist Lu Xun. "Originally there is nothing. But as people walk this way again and again, a path appears." In Half the Sky, award-winning journalists and husband and wife team Sheryl WuDunn and Nicholas Kristof examined the stories of struggles facing women and girls around the world. Now, in A Path Appears, they focus on poverty -- its complex causes, symptoms and cycles -- and on solutions to this global scourge: innovative strategies for making a difference. Through a mix of research, reporting and extraordinary storytelling, WuDunn and Kristof introduce us to people who are using exceptional ideas and evidence-based approaches to tackle severe problems, inspire hope, and make the world a better place.
