Wide and Close, Above and Below: Visualizing the African City

This second issue of the Writing with Light Magazine explores a single theme through the shared fascinations and frustrations of photography, ethnography, and design. The View From Above issue began in 2018 at a workshop funded by the Wenner Gren Foundation, held in Austin, Texas. The issue focuses on aerial photography and the captivating set of relations and concepts animated by the so-called ‘vertical gaze.’ The contributions try to open up a space—materially and figuratively—to think more about the limits and politics of verticality and the associated ways in which perspectives and relations can be assembled and reassembled through the still image.
