Reimagining African Narratives is a six-month photography mentorship that fosters responsible collaboration from a Global South perspective. Through online and in-person workshops, participants receive expert guidance to advance long-term projects, challenge traditional documentary formats, and engage a global audience through practical editing and publishing sessions.
