Hââbré, Joana Choumali, (Cote d'Ivoire)
Hââbré, photographed by Joana Choumali
Ivorian photographer Joana Choumali's striking portraits of Abidjan's elderly citizens represent a digital record of traditional practices that are falling into obscurity due to modernization. Titled Hââbré, which translates to writing or scarification in the Kô language from Burkina Faso, this photo project serves as a link between the past and present and an exploration of the complexity of African identity today.
