The multitalented local artist Shanequa Gay is paired with two photographers from Burkina Faso, Sanlé Sory and Saïdou Dicko at Jackson Fine Art in Atlanta. I don’t think it’s just local pride to say that Gay more than holds her own next to two esteemed African photographers. Though they hail from different sides of the world, all three photographers create portraits of Africans and African Americans that contain an evocative, proud expression of a local sensibility — the landscapes, clothing, mannerisms and cultural touchstones that define the places where these people live.
