Da Sky

The identity of a place lies with its people and lives they live. Heritage, culture ,belief and struggle are essential ingredients in shaping the thinking of people of a region. Nigeria has had her fair share of ups and downs . The glories of the past and the fleeting hope for  tomorrow. Nigeria in her glory stood tall among the world’s best,  serving as a dawn of a new age ,  and fierce in the faces of adversity and injustice, both home and abroad. But decades of regressions is enough to discourage her people on the possibility of a better tomorrow. Nigeria remains Nigeria, and the gallantry and resilience of its people did not wane. The everyday challenges could distract us of our inherent identity but what if another perspective is revealed for us to see, the vestige of old architectures, the resplendence of our cultures, folklores that comes to life, clusters of people with shared interest, patterns from the sky, beauties of nature ,unique landscapes and communities that holds nostalgic memories.  Another Nigeria exists and is ever present but its only revealed when we are ready to see it, to guide us towards an optimistic future.

A Different Perspective

After two years documenting environmental stories as a botanist and photographer, Ayomitunde is launching a visual investigation into how climate change affects people living with albinism in Nigeria. As global temperatures rise and weather patterns grow unpredictable, persons with albinism (PWA) face increasing risks. Their heightened sensitivity to sunlight makes them especially vulnerable to extreme heat and ultraviolet exposure, leading to a surge in skin cancer, the leading cause of death among African albinos. Limited healthcare access, late diagnosis, and financial barriers worsen their situation, while government neglect leaves them without proper support. Beyond physical hardship, damaging myths persist, including the belief that albinos should avoid salt. Through this project, Ayomitunde aims to explore the intersection of climate change, health, and social stigma, visually amplifying the experiences of PWAs to foster understanding, challenge stereotypes, and advocate for greater awareness and protection.

SUN NOT SALT 

Three girls run across the dusty, uncompleted Oyo-Ilorin highway, bucket in hand, to fetch water. While running across a highway as heavy duty trucks drive by may not be the reality of an average Nigerian kid, it's the reality of the kids at Adetunji village. In the face of this adversity, they make the most of it. Their hope for a better future is unwavering, and for them we have no choice but to build Another Nigeria.

REFLECTIONS OF EVERYDAY

Hands of Clay ‎ ‎This image captures a potter at Dada Pottery in Ilorin, Kwara State; a community where the art of molding clay has been passed down through generations. ‎ ‎Pottery is an art that embodies culture and livelihood. It sustains local economies, empowers women, and preserves an identity deeply rooted in culture. It’s this heritage that shapes who we are.
