Sanlé Sory’s photograph Je Vais Décoller (1977) was featured in the Victoria & Albert Museum’s exhibition Africa Fashion this summer. Spanning nearly a century, the exhibition explored Africa’s fashion scene through more than 250 objects on display, including photographs, textiles, and music. Sory’s work, including Je Vais Décoller, captures the unique fashions of post-colonial Burkina Faso’s youth culture. To learn more, please visit the museum website.
