JAMES BARNOR:J PETER DODOO JNR., YOGA STUDENT OF “MR STRONG”, EVER YOUNG STUDIO, ACCRA, C. 1955
Accra in the 1950s was a decade marked by the significant transformation of nation building and the rise of cosmopolitanism. Photography served as an important medium for sitters to articulate their own self-actualization. Barnor described his first studio Ever Young (1953-1959), in the Jamestown district of the city, as a community centre filled with music and conversation, a drop-in space that embodied precisely this spirit of reinvention through the frame.
