#BiennaleArte2024 #ForeignersEverywhere Silver Lion for a promising young participant to #KarimahAshadu. “With a searing intimacy, she captures the vulnerability of young men from the agrarian north of Nigeria who have migrated to Lagos and end up riding illegal motorbike taxis. Her feminist camera lens is extraordinarily sensitive and intimate, capturing the bikers’ subcultural experience as well as their economic precarity.”

Not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, especially as you see the Day drawing near. This is a message for everyone: we are one, and we should continue to see ourselves as people not defined by anything else.
