Richard Hay Jr. reveals the quiet poetry of everyday life in mid-century West Africa and America through a sophisticated dialogue between black-and-white and color photography. Rejecting traditional narratives of poverty or exoticism, Hay uses his Leica to capture shared human experiences and material culture across two continents. Framed by an essay by renowned Nigerian author Emmanuel Iduma, the photographs invite contemplation on the affinities between cultures separated by oceans and decades. The work is a rhythmic exploration of history, revealing echoes that continue to reverberate in the present day.
