SZ Gallery proudly presents Weaving Stories by PICHA, a book exhibit celebrating the unique perspectives of Afrocentric communities, that also reveal the universal truths that connect us all.
Discover the Power of Visual Storytelling with Weaving Stories
We are excited to announce the upcoming release of Weaving Stories, a captivating new picture book that celebrates the beauty, resilience, and vibrancy of Afrocentric communities across the globe. A collaboration between photographers, creators, and the vision behind PICHA, this book offers a deeply personal and powerful exploration of the universal narratives that connect us all.
Why Weaving Stories Matters
Images possess the power to reshape how we see the world, challenge our perspectives, and tell the stories that need to be heard. Weaving Stories highlights the voices of photographers from Afrocentric communities who have long been underrepresented in mainstream visual media. Through this collection, we offer a visual chronicle of the human experience—capturing moments of joy, struggle, love, and growth that are both deeply personal and universally relatable.
From the bustling streets of Lagos to the quiet wisdom passed between mothers and daughters, Weaving Stories brings you face-to-face with the everyday lives of people whose stories have often been overlooked. Whether it’s the culinary traditions of Bahia, the spirit of community in rural villages, or the vibrant, fast-paced life of a taxi driver in Lagos, these images remind us that there’s beauty in every corner of the world.
Let’s celebrate the power of visual storytelling together.
