展览背景：
主旨：后殖民时代的非洲摄影及其对非洲国家和海外非洲人产生的全球化影响
《非洲：你看我，我看你！》摄影展描绘了非洲摄影的历史，诉说这段历史如何影响了非洲以外人士对非洲及其不同离散族群所抱有的幻想。照片、展现非洲人民主观性的文件、历史档案及正在衍生的社会，有助于理解影像对解放非洲所作出的贡献。一系列照片揭示了殖民主义和新殖民主义非洲社会的病理特征，描述了一些从高压国家中解脱出来的非洲族群。其中一些照片记录了非洲人民参与国家事务以及后民族自愿社会的形成，记录了他们如何以自愿社会为手段争取决策权。非洲不仅是一片空间，更是牵动非洲大陆内外，如欧洲、美洲和亚洲人众多情感的地方，让非洲艺术家可安然置身其中。这些艺术家现身于家国以外的展览场馆，在那些近期由非洲以外的摄影师拍摄非洲及非洲人民的照片上留下标记。再者，他们的出现促进了非洲人民之间，讨论有关自我表现对家国的意义，亦对有关自我表现的互文对话，起了催化作用。
《非洲：你看我，我看你！》摄影展在展示非洲摄影历史的同时，再次刷新了人们对非洲社会的认识。此次展览由里斯本当代艺术中心和AFRICA.CONT发起。在经历了纽约、里斯本、安卡拉、拉各斯、佛罗伦萨的巡展之后，主办方安哥拉—澳门协会选择北京荔空间为中国巡展的展场，并邀请纽约大学提西艺术学院的教授亚旺•安柏为策展人，玛达拉•希雷尔、顾振清为联合策展人，担纲由此次展览策展工作，并使其成为“2011草场地摄影季”的一个重要组成部分。草场地摄影季与国际知名的阿尔勒摄影节为期三年的合作，打造了一个备受瞩目的 “2011草场地摄影季——阿尔勒在北京”的展示平台。在此全方位的平台上，《非洲：你看我，我看你！》摄影展将有助于中国与非洲交流关系的不断深化，在中国人民与非洲人民的经济交往迅速升温的21世纪，提升彼此之间的文化认知。

Africa: See You, See Me! presents the history of African photography and its influence on non-African imaginings of Africa and the African diaspora in all its diversity. Together, the photographs are texts of African subjectivities, archives of history and societies in the making, and methods for understanding how images contribute to emancipation. They critique the pathologies of postcolonial and neocolonial Africa by depicting the continent’s communities disentangling themselves from repressive nation states. While some of the photographs document the participation of Africans in state affairs, others portray the formation of post-national voluntary communities as tools of empowerment. Africa is more than a place. Africa is also in many spaces within and beyond the continent – in Europe, the Americas, and Asia -- that African artists pry open to install their presence. Their interventions in exhibition halls beyond the continent of their heritage have made a mark on recent photographs of Africa and Africans by non-African photographers. Moreover, they have spurred intra-African and inter-textual dialogues about self-representation in Africa itself.
The exhibition was the result of a proposal made by Lisbon’s centre of contemporary arts, AFRICA.CONT, to Awam Amkpa, the exhibition’s curator and professor at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. After touring New York, Lisbon, Accra, Lagos, and Florence, the Macau-Angola Association invited Awam Amkpa to bring the exhibition toLi Space as part of the 2011 Caochangdi PhotoSpring - Arles in Beijing. The Macau-Angola Association believes that it is important to promote a cultural exchange between Africa and China given the increasing strength of the economic relationship between the two regions.
