Johnny Pitts - Afropean: A Journal
Afropean: A Journal offers an alternative map of the continent, taking the reader to places like Cova Da Moura, the Cape Verdean slum on the outskirts of Lisbon with its own underground economy, and Rinkeby, the Stockholm neighborhood that is 80 percent Muslim. Pitts visits Moscow's former Patrice Lumumba University, where West African students still benefit from Cold War ties to the USSR, and Clichy Sous Bois in Paris, which spawned the 2005 riots, while presenting Afropeans as key players in their own history.
Afropeans through the lens
Johny Pitts presents an ongoing visual documentation of the lives and cultures of Black Europeans, bringing together twenty years of photographs, notebooks, and ephemera. By adding new levels of understanding of the Black experience in Europe and covering cities such as Paris, Berlin, Lisbon, Brussels, Amsterdam, and Stockholm, Pitts delves even deeper into the lives, history, and culture of Afropeans.
