## Caption

We’ll kick off this tour with a photograph by Mimi Cherono Ng’ok, whose work also appeared in the 2018 #CarnegieInternational. Ng’ok is a Kenyan photographer who is known for her use of color and composition to highlight moments of emotion and interiority. .
Her work has been described by hyperallergic as “memory-meets-observation-meets-dream life.” This photograph was taken during her time traveling around the world while participating in various artist residency programs. Ng’ok keeps some details about the subject and background hidden, capturing a sense of nostalgia for this unspecified place and the impossibility of ever returning to the same moment. .
“My journey is one in which I discover the intimacy of places, the nostalgia of cities, and the streets remembered throughout heartbreak [...] The photographs are not about one country, one city or one place, but are an emotional cartography of where I have been.”—Mimi Cherono Ng’ok .
