Marie Köhler & Ibou Diop

Episode 3

Artist Marie Köhler meets with literary scholar, curator and activist Ibou Diop for a conversation. They talk about the representation of Africa in photography, address the "white-hero complex," ask each other whether white people should take photos in Africa at all, and why they think white people and black people can't be friends.DiscourseTalk & Discussion

Note: A conversation of this nature is not easy to edit. Any kind of editing takes contexts apart and shortens statements. Therefore we decided together with all actors to show this film in full length.

Auf einen Kaffee mit...

For the new discussion format "Auf einen Kaffee mit ...", the International Photoszene Cologne invites a photographer to a fireside chat with a person from a completely different field, such as cabaret, science or the art market. In these unusual and interdisciplinary encounters at eye level, photography is always the occasion, but by no means the only topic of conversation. Rather, the aim is to broaden people's own perspectives and promote mutual understanding - among the participants as well as the audience. And we do this in a way that is low-threshold, entertaining and profound at the same time. At the same time, we present a wide range of photographic topics from art to applied photography. With Jürgen Becker, Mark Benecke, Gabriele Dietrich, Ibou Diop, Alina Gross, Marie Köhler, Elke Kuhlen, Selina Pfrüner, Julian Sander, Denis Scheck, Markus Schaden and Daniel Zakharov.

Photoszene On Air "Auf einen Kaffee mit ..." is made possible by the funding program "NEUSTART KULTUR" in the program section "KULTUR.GEMEINSCHAFTEN" with funds from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media and the Cultural Foundation of the Federal States.
