The exhibition<\/h2>\n

The noun Ebifananyi<\/em> is derived from the verb Kufanana<\/em> which means look like<\/em>. Ebifananyi<\/em> is the Luganda word for drawings, paintings and photos.<\/p>\n

In 2011, Andrea Stultiens<\/strong><\/a> and the artist R. Canon Griffin<\/strong><\/a> have founded the History in Progress Uganda<\/em>. Under this name, they have been documenting historical collections of Ugandan photographs in their current state ever since.<\/p>\n

Stultiens' role has evolved from that of documentalist to that of artist and curator. She favours a polyphonic approach, asking contemporary artists to activate the visual material. The result is a convergence of personal documentation and the work of Ugandan photographers, as well as historical snapshots taken by Western settlers and missionaries. She compiled the results in eight intimate publications under the title Ebifananyi and exhibited them in numerous small-scale exhibitions in Uganda and Northern Europe.<\/p>\n

The presentation of the FOMU<\/strong><\/a> brings together for the first time all the photographic collections on which the publications are based. It shows the diversity of narrative possibilities of historical visual material. The exhibition also gives an idea of the reactions to the collections in Uganda. In this way, Stultiens highlights the use of the photographic image in this East African country and challenges the stereotypical image of Africa.<\/p>\n
