Oath Magazine

Oath Magazine is a ground-breaking biannual publication homegrown in Cape Town, South Africa that celebrates the art of photography, champions emerging voices from Africa and shines a light on overlooked archives. We are committed to discovering, celebrating, and promoting emerging photographers from across the African continent. We offer a space for new artists painting with light to showcase their work and provide a visual diary of key talent from other areas of the world. Our platform exists to champion new work and open conversations about the visual arts across Africa to a global dialogue. Oath Magazine presents to the world a curated view of the sweeping frontier of contemporary African photography. We recognise the need to interpret the great scope of photography talent coming from across Africa by providing a much-needed platform for a diverse new generation of photographers. Our goal is to grant visibility to emerging photographers, celebrate overlooked archives, and champion talent. There is a vast amount of photographic output across the continent, yet the platforms through which to engage with it both on home soil and abroad are minimal.
