AFRICA PERSONIFIED – PHOTOGRAPHY by Dynast Amir
Africa is beautiful Art in motion and Dynast Amir is showing us exactly that, capturing Africa in motion, in his Africa Personified Photography.
On his platform, Dynast Amir indicate that, Africa Personified is the embodiment of African culture but due to modernity, indigenous African culture is being compromised. Therefore as Africa modernizes, he made it his mission to uphold the African culture and create platforms which inspires others to continue embracing African culture through this African renaissance.
Dynast Amir believes one should not have to choose between modernity and culture but that both should be merged without sacrificing the other.
“There needs to be balance. Africanity is where modern Africa and ethnic Africa meet. Modernity must not make us loose our Africanity, Long live Africa and long Live Africanity.” ~Dynast Amir
