B-Side: PHOTOGRAPHY. AFROPEAN. FUSION
The Eyes questions cultural and societal evolutions through the prism of photography and creation and gives carte blanche to experts directly concerned by the subjects addressed. B-Side, the upcoming issue of The Eyes journal, invites its readers to a visual exploration of what it means to be Afropean, a notion of expertise of our guest curator Johny Pitts, British photographer and author. Historical and contemporary photographers, seminal and singular books and journals will explore the diversity of black identities as experienced in Europe. Entitled “B-Side“, this issue is strongly inspired by music, the field that gave birth to the term Afropean. B-Side is also an opportunity to take an offbeat approach and look at the B-side, the one we don’t hear much about and see most of the time in a marginal way. ABOUT JOHNY PITTS – THE EYES #12 GUEST CURATOR Johny Pitts is the curator of the ENAR (European Network Against Racism) award-winning online journal Afropean. com and the author of Afropean: Notes from Black Europe (Penguin Random House). Translated into French, German, Italian and Spanish, it has been awarded the 2020 Jhalak Prize and the 2020 Bread & Roses Award for Radical Publishing and is the recipient of the 2021 Leipzig Book Award for European Understanding and the 2021 European Essay Prize.

Afropeaan
Notities uit Zwart EuropaWat betekent het om een Zwarte Europeaan te zijn? Met camera en notitieboek trekt Johny Pitts door Europa, op zoek naar Zwarte stemmen en een verenigde Afro-Europese identiteit. De reis begint in zijn geboortestad Sheffield en doorkruist Parijs, Brussel, Amsterdam, Berlijn, Stockholm, Moskou, Marseille, Rome en Lissabon. Overal ontmoet hij Europeanen met Afrikaanse roots die jongleren met verschillende loyaliteiten en nieuwe identiteiten smeden. Afropeaan is een indrukwekkende zoektocht naar datgene wat Zwarte Europeanen verbindt en de Europese identiteit vormgeeft. ‘Pitts schrijft niet enkel over zijn belevingen, zijn zoektocht naar zwart Europa, maar ook over de Europese geschiedenis, de Afrikaanse geschiedenis en hoe die twee verhalen in elkaar zitten verweven. Ik vind het een openbaring te lezen en te ontdekken dat ook ík Europees ben.’ – Lisette Ma Neza ‘Volgens Pitts schuilt er meer achter het woord: “Afropeaan” is een helende term voor het jarenlange gevoel niet te behoren tot een vaste groep.’ – De Standaard

Afropäisch
»Johny Pitts ist ein Bricoleur, ein erleuchteter, menschenfreundlicher Bastler im Lévi-Strauss'schen Sinne. Selbst Sohn einer weißen Arbeiterin aus Sheffield und eines schwarzen Soul-Sängers aus New York, dessen Mutter noch auf den Feldern South Carolinas Baumwolle pflückte, lässt er seine nachdenkliche, einfühlsame Reportage auch zu einer Suche nach der eigenen Identität werden.« Aus der Begründung der Jury des Leipziger Buchpreises zur Europäischen Verständigung 2021 >afropäisch< bezeichnet. In Paris, Berlin, Moskau oder Marseille trifft er Künstler und Aktivistinnen, aber auch Menschen, deren Alltag von Rassismus und Armut geprägt ist. Nicht nur in den französischen Banlieues und den Favelas am Rande Lissabons wird deutlich, dass Europas multikulturelle Gegenwart nach wie vor von seiner kolonialen Vergangenheit gezeichnet ist. Meisterhaft verknüpft Pitts Reportage und literarischen Essay zu einem zeitgenössischen Porträt eines Weltteils auf der Suche nach seiner postkolonialen Identität.

Looks and Smiles
An unsentimental, sympathetic novel of the unemployed young in Thatcher's Britain. From Barry Hines, writer of A Kestrel for a Knave and The Gamekeeper 1980, Sheffield: a city on its knees after decades of steel industry decline and facing the brutal economic policies of Thatcher. Mick wants to learn how to be a motorcycle mechanic, but bad luck, inexperience, and tough times make it hard to find a job. At a disco one evening, he meets Karen, who works in a shoe shop, and the pair hang out with Mick's buddy, Alan. Mick and Alan's efforts to find jobs are in vain and they face a choice: remain jobless or join the army, which is recruiting to police the North of Ireland. The author's unerring eye for detail and ear for dialogue are utterly engaging and evocative. Looks and Smiles is a gritty and poignant bulletin from a forgotten period of British history. A Barry Hines classic.
