Family FOTO
“Community means more than 'family': it is the cultural groups, markets, associations and friends who we encounter throughout our lives that matter." – James BarnorFor artist James Barnor, family and community were a constant source of inspiration in his photography. Family FOTO is an international family album inspired by Barnor’s Serpentine exhibition James Barnor: Accra/London – A Retrospective.
In June 2021, Serpentine launched a digital call-out inviting people from around the world to share their interpretations of family through personal images and reflections.
