Samuel Fosso: Affirmative Acts is the first museum survey of his work in the United States. Samuel Fosso and Princeton Professor Chika Okeke-Agulu, curator, artist, and director of Program in African Studies, discuss Fosso’s photography practice, life experience, and the different series presented in the exhibition.
