Programme
Black is beautiful, Kwame Brathwaite
The work of New York photographer Kwame Brathwaite is being celebrated at the Centre de la Photographie de Mougins. A pioneering figure behind the Black is Beautiful movement in the 1950s and 60s, he dedicated his career to showcasing Black beauty in all its power and diversity. Drawing on a wide range of influences — from the ideas of Marcus Garvey, an early advocate of Pan-Africanism, to the rhythms of jazz, funk and blues — he captured iconic figures such as Stevie Wonder, Muhammad Ali and Bob Marley. This first European retrospective offers a powerful insight into a career that was committed, brilliant and remarkably prolific.
