About Congregation

Congregation is a celebration of Southwark’s Aladura Spiritualist African churches and congregations. Firstly, they are often referred to as “white garment” churches. So, Green’s images engage with rarely-documented dynamic communities. Aladura is a denomination of Christianity predominantly practised by Yoruba Nigerians. and in the last 40 years has become a ubiquitous part of London life - particularly in Southwark. Consequently, it has the highest concentration of African churches outside the continent. Congregation observes a rich tapestry of worshippers and Sunday services. So, these are spoken in Yoruba and form a key social meeting point and place of cultural solidarity between African Londoners. Congregation asks questions about how individuals find collective identity and power within subcultures, and how cultural practice is assimilated into modern global contexts: traditional dress, food and customs rub up against modern technology and fashion, while devotional interiors colourfully fill the hidden, often industrial spaces that churches inhabit. Finally, Green also engages directly with individuals through collaborative, posed portrait sessions. As well as, photographic workshops which serve to empower and engage with members of each congregation and their faith. Mixed in with naturalistic images of men, women and children, these stylised portraits highlight the performance of identity and communality that underpins religious practice.
