About

Fama Diouf

Fama Diouf, is a Senegalese-Ivorian photographer celebrated for her powerful black-and-white imagery. Growing up in a multicultural setting, her passion for photography ignited during a 2010 humanitarian mission in Haiti. Her work reimagines historical figures, challenging absolute truths by highlighting alternative narratives. Influenced by Sebastião Salgado, Fama delves into identity and heritage with projects like "A World Vision" (2019), "Elles Story" (2020), and her latest, "Infra Rouge: Ce que l'œil ne voit pas," crafting a distinct artistic voice.

What's happening

Brighton Photo Fringe Biennale 2024 with Fama Diouf

Opening Exhibition: "Revealing Horizons: Unseen Connections"


We’re thrilled to start this autumn season with Fama Diouf's UK solo exhibition. Her black-and-white and infrared photography challenges stereotypes, unveiling hidden truths and new perspectives on identity.

"In 'Revealing Horizons: Unseen Connections', I explore the visible and hidden through black-and-white and infrared photography. By recontextualising historical figures, my work challenges stereotypes and unveils new perspectives on identity. The stark contrasts in my black-and-white images reveal core truths, while the surreal infrared captures unseen layers of reality. In this exciting partnership with Jean Wachter and Mid Street Lab and on the occasion of the Brighton Photo Fringe Biennale, this exhibition celebrates the real or imagined connections that unite us and fosters cross-cultural understanding and social healing, I am hopeful."
