Photography was not widely accessible in Ghana during the time of his childhood, so Idun-Tawiah lacked a photo archive through which he could process his grief. He created \u003ci\u003eHero, Father, Friend\u003c\/i\u003e in order to fill this disheartening gap. Featuring reconstructed scenes, both real and imagined, from Idun-Tawiah's memory of his father, the photobook bears testimony to a cherished familial bond. Idun-Tawiah's photographs depict piano lessons with his grandfather, days on the beach with his uncle and games of soccer with his cousins--a family network united to fill the complex role of paternity. Denis Curti and Alessio Fusi contribute essays that provide a critical counterpoint to Idun-Tawiah's visual narration by analyzing how its emotional and aesthetic attributes interrelate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Marsilio Arte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/11\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9791254633458\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128","brand":"Carlos Idun-Tawiah","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52774300319925,"sku":"9791254633458","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/carlos-idun-tawiah-hero-father-friend-deloitte-photo-grant-2025-9791254633458","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
