Unseen works by one of Madagascar’s greatest photographers make waves

Previously unseen portraits of ordinary people and everyday life on the island are going on show in Madagascar’s capital decades after they were taken.

They are the work of known as Emile Rakotondrazaka, who was regarded as the grandfather of Malagasy photography.

This is the first major exhibition of his work since he died in 2017, and it documents the post-independence era from the 1960s onwards.

Here is a taste of some of what’s on show at the Hakanto Contemporary art space in Antananarivo.
