EXHIBITION: Grace in the Streets: the Beauty of Nima Photography by Fibi Afloe


  • The Gallery Cafe 21 Old Ford Road London, England, E2 9PL United Kingdom (map)

Vibrant portraits celebrating Nima’s women, blending tradition and modernity, showcasing cultural pride, identity, and community bonds.

This work celebrates the women of Nima, a vibrant Muslim community in Accra, through their unique expressions of beauty. Adorned in vibrant African prints, intricate henna, and striking accessories, these women use fashion to reflect their cultural heritage and personal identity. Dressing for events like weddings or everyday visits, they blend traditional and modern styles, creating a vivid tapestry of storytelling through attire. Photographed in a contemporary yet traditional style, these portraits honor the women’s grace, cultural pride, and the strong communal bonds that thrive amidst the challenges of urban life.
