Surat - Atong Atem 

Surat (which translates from Sudanese Arabic as ‘snapshots’) by Atong Atem is a homage to family photos and the characters within them. This collection is a celebration of the visual language of family photographs and photography as an extension of our oral traditions. ‘We sing songs to tell history and we dress up and sit for photographs to mythologise our histories,’ says Atem.
