Djeneba Aduayom moved to photography a few years ago after a long career as a dancer.

"Most people that I photograph have been called 'ugly' [...] just because people don't understand culture or skin color," says Djeneba Aduayom to RFI.

The photo below was exhibited at the AKAA Fair

"This is Adele, I met her in Montreal, she's the daughter of a woman who used to be a soldier and a rebel in Sudan. Adele's mother migrated to Canada when she was young and Adele lost her identity," explains Aduayom.

"My photos always use different elements to create visual poetry".
