Doyle Wham, a UK gallery promoting contemporary photography from Africa and its diaspora, has announced the opening of Into The Fold, a new exhibition of forty works spanning four decades of innovative practice by eight women photographers and creative practitioners.
From Angèle Etoundi Essamba’s hand-crafted intimate black and white silver gelatin prints, to more recent digital collages by Puleng Mongale, and elaborately constructed portraits created through lockdown by the collective Umseme Uyakhuluma with women from South Africa and the Ivory Coast, Into The Fold presents responses to identity, the body, self-knowledge, womanhood, colonialism, culture and the land. The exhibition is a curatorial collaboration by two women-led organisations: Doyle Wham, the UK's only contemporary African photography gallery, and Latitudes, a leading online platform for contemporary African art based in Johannesburg.

Into The Fold was developed as a response to the lack of collaborative international infrastructure and exhibition opportunities for emerging and established African women photographers and artists. Doyle Wham is committed to collaborative shows that enable Africa-based organisations with a focus on photography to gain a physical footprint in London, and to offer the artists broader international reach.
Location: 35-37 Villiers Street, London, WC2N 6ND
