Photographer Explores Being Black and European Across Europe
British photographer Johny Pitts has spent two decades documenting the experience of being Black and European. His project, titled 'Black Bricolage,' exhibits photographs and documents from major European cities like Paris and Berlin.
For 20 years, British photographer Johny Pitts has been travelling around Europe with a camera and a question: what does it actually mean to be Black and European? His answer fills a room at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris. "Black Bricolage" brings together photographs, notebooks and documents from cities across the continent – Paris, Berlin, Lisbon, Marseille and Brussels – capturing the ordinary lives that rarely make the front page.
