One-hundred black women photographers contributed to the debut issue of Mfon: Women Photographers of the African Diaspora, an annual journal launched today, which will publish photographs by women of African descent. The photographers range from age 13 to 91 and live all over the world — from Madagascar to Arkansas, Mali to Chicago — and their subjects include the AfroPunk Festival in Brooklyn, life in Lagos, Nigeria, and a funeral for Egyptian soldiers. New York-based co-editors Laylah Amatullah Barrayn and Adama Delphine Fawundu,
a documentary photographer and visual artist, respectively, selected
images exploring a wide range of themes relating to the African
Diaspora, including beauty standards and black hair, resistance
movements, and spirituality. The photos appear alongside interviews and
essays by writers such as New York Times writer Whitney Richardson and author Catherine McKinley.
