Celebrate Mozambique’s photojournalist Rangel – The Lens and the Jazz
Stewart Sukuma, Lda, this year begins a project of preservation and dissemination of the collection of the most varied artists and cultural agitators of different branches in Mozambique. It is the CELEBRAR Project, which is premiered celebrating an inescapable figure of photography and jazz: Ricardo Rangel.
The alignment of Celebrar Rangel - Lente and Jazz, includes a photographic exhibition of several works by Ricardo Rangel (in partnership with the Kulungwana Association), the presentation of the documentary "RICATRIZ" by American director Ryan Daniels and a Concerto by Jazz that will have as special guest the group Malhangalene Jazz Quartet.
Ricardo Achiles Rangel was a Mozambican photojournalist and photographer born in the city of Lourenço Marques, now known as Maputo in February 1924. His father was a Greek businessman and Rangel was of African, European and Chinese descent. Rangel was raised by his African grandmother in the impoverished suburbs surrounding Lourenço Marques, while he visited his parents in the outlying provinces.
His photography career began during the early 1940s by developing pictures in a private studio. Interest in taking photographs soon followed. Rangel was hired as the first non-white employee to join the Mozambican newspaper Noticias de Tarde in 1952, where he worked as a photographer.
