Faces That Reclaim the Present
Afro Renaissance: Ancestral Echoes, Today Visions's exhibition
This section centres on the portrait as a powerful act of affirmation. The faces depicted do not merely look—they confront, demand, and claim space in the present. These works reflect a conscious positioning of Black and African identities in today’s world, not as passive subjects of representation, but as agents of their own narratives. Through direct gazes, expressive gestures, and bold visual language, the artists restore dignity and presence to bodies often marginalised or stereotyped. These are not portraits of the past—they are declarations of now.
