Black South African photographer Ernest Cole exposed to the world the horror of apartheid through his shocking photographs. His book, House of Bondage, which was published in 1967 when he was only 27 years old, was considered a wake- up call to the world, and led him into a life-long exile in New York and Europe. His work was “rediscovered” long after his early death, when more than 60,000 negatives of his lost work were found in 2017 in a Swedish bank vault.

Raoul Peck was born in Haiti. When he was eight years old, his family fled the Duvalier regime. His film I Am Not Your Negro, about the life of James Baldwin, was nominated for an Oscar in 2017. His HBO miniseries, Exterminate All the Brutes, released in 2021, received a Peabody Award. Peck was Haiti’s Minister of Culture from 1996 to 1997.
