The sixties were a long time coming. The sixties keep coming back.

Treating the 1960s expansively as an era and idea, the Smart Museum of Art’s new exhibition not all realisms: photography, Africa, and the long 1960s examines photography’s role in relation to a time of intense self-consciousness about change, celebration, stagnancy, struggle, and representation. The exhibition focuses on Ghana, Mali, and South Africa and features photographic prints, reprints, books, magazines, posters, and other material means through which photography’s relationships to real people and events were articulated, produced, and circulated.
