Salt Memory: Yusuf Ahmed

Forthcoming exhibition
20 November 2026 - 17 April 2027
  • Overview
Salt Memory: Yusuf Ahmed

EN

Salt Memory is a new body of photographic work by Yusuf Ahmed taken across the African continent and engaging members of its Diaspora, exploring how water holds memory — as archive, as vessel of cultural transmission, as site of creativity, hope, and the irreducible humanity of the continent and its people. Where land holds one kind of history, water holds another: one that moves, that carries, that returns.

 

Yusuf's practice traces the currents of globalization and their influence on memory, identity, and belonging, attuned always to the human face behind complex global issues. His work has been supported by the Sundance Institute, the Doris Duke Foundation, the Center for Asian American Media, and the Islamic Scholarship Fund, and has appeared in The Guardian, OkayAfrica, Musée Magazine, and The Art Newspaper. Salt Memory is his debut exhibition at Galerie36.

Salt Memory est un nouveau corpus photographique de Yusuf Ahmed, réalisé à travers le continent africain et engageant des membres de sa diaspora. L'œuvre explore la manière dont l'eau porte la mémoire — comme archive, comme vecteur de transmission culturelle, comme lieu de créativité, d'espoir, et de l'humanité irréductible du continent et de ses peuples. Là où la terre porte une histoire, l'eau en porte une autre : une histoire qui se déplace, qui transporte, qui revient.

La pratique de Yusuf Ahmed suit les courants de la mondialisation et leur influence sur la mémoire, l'identité et l'appartenance, toujours attentive au visage humain derrière les enjeux globaux les plus complexes. Son travail a été soutenu par le Sundance Institute, la Doris Duke Foundation, le Center for Asian American Media et l'Islamic Scholarship Fund, et présenté dans The Guardian, OkayAfrica, Musée Magazine et The Art Newspaper. Salt Memory est sa première exposition à Galerie36.
