{"product_id":"9789464665154","title":"LUSAKA STREET by Alick Phiri","description":"Lusaka Street is an exploration of Zambia's photographic past through the eyes of Zambian image-maker Alick Phiri. One of the few surviving black photographers that had access to the medium from the 1960s through the 1990s in Lusaka - a time when the use of the camera was restricted in the country - Phiri was trained at Lusaka's Photo Art Studios before opening his own studio in Kanyama, making photography an integral part of his life. His unseen before photographic archive provides a rare insight into the everyday experience of people in the city. Even more importantly, his work is a document of the process of self-determination and self-representation of black Zambians at the time, recounted through situational portraits taken in the subject's domestic sphere. A testament to the relevance of lens-based media within Zambia's geographical, historical and social context, a tool for reimagining the past and reading the present.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56311235084661,"sku":"9789464665154","price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9789464665154","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
