Civilization: The Way We Live Now  (group show)
Musei San Domenico, Forli
15 September 2022 – 15 February 2023

Works by Andrew Esiebo are included in the group exhibition Civilization: The Way We Live Now, which will be on view at the Musei San Domenico in Forli from 15 September 2022 until 15 February 2023.

Civilization: The Way We Live Now is an international photography exhibition of monumental scale, featuring the work of over 100 contemporary photographers from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia and Europe with over 200 original photographs being exhibited. In this increasingly globalised world, the exhibition explores photographers’ representations of life in cities as its key theme and presents a journey through the shared aspects of life in the urban environment. The selected works create a picture of collective life around the world and document patterns of mass behaviour. The exhibition looks at the phenomenal complexity of life in the twenty-first century and reflects on the ways in which photographers have documented, and held a mirror up, to the world around us.
