The annual exhibition, held in a working-class area of Abidjan, Ivory Coast, is organised by photographer Aïda Muluneh, who is determined to tap into the continent’s creative potential
Aïda Muluneh has had her eye on the road ever since she left Ethiopia with her mother when she was five years old, making stops in Yemen, Cyprus and Canada. Now she has her eye on the future, building on her reputation as one of Africa’s most accomplished photographers.
Today, Muluneh is training a new generation of photographers in the Ivory Coast city of Abidjan, her home for the past five years. She organises the Africa Foto Fair (AFF) in the city’s working-class neighbourhood of Abobo, as part of a plan to make world-class photography accessible to children everywhere.
