One of the highlights of the event “Joy in the Park” was the unveiling of Jamii’s new photo exhibition “Placemaking“, curated by Sabrine S Hakam, with artistic advisor Sarah S Ahmad, and showcasing the talent of seven local photographers. One of the selected photos is mine, “Beware of Artists, they mix with all classes of society and are therefore the most dangerous“.
The exhibition explores the concept of ‘making space’ for underrepresented groups or ideas to shine in public areas. The selected photographs present a compelling narrative of human behaviour within community spaces. I am pleased to belong to this community and contribute to the well-being of all of us. Jamii is making us proud, this type of practice makes cities dynamic and livable. It is rejuvenated, encouraging the change and blending old and new.
This project is part of the CONTACT Photography Festival.
