The photographer

Abstract

Ebifananyi is the title of a series of eight publications by History In Progress Uganda (HIPUganda). Each book is centred around one Ugandan photo archive, exploring its narrative possibilities with images, supported by text. The series present the results of engagement with archives by the HIPUganda initiators and a wider circle of Ugandans in compelling stories and beautifully designed and printed books. The noun Ebifananyi is derived from the verb Kufanana, and means to be similar to. It’s the Luganda word for drawings, paintings and photographs and to indicate two-dimensional likeness (http://www.paradox.nl/project/ebifananyi/)
