The late photographer Priya Ramrakha was a Kenyan photojournalist for Time and Life magazines. In 1960, he came to the United States to study photography at Art Center. While here, Ramrakha photographed the civil rights movement, which inspired him to return to Kenya and document the fight for independence in Africa. He was killed in 1968 while covering the Nigerian Civil War for Time-Life.
Now in its fourth year, the innovative and educational art project “Jeunes Talents” (“Young Talents”) has selected eight young art and photography students from five major U.S. colleges and universities to document their experience of modern French life.
