Iklima Babangida
Drawing from my Hausa-Fulani heritage in northern Nigeria, I blend documentary and creative storytelling to capture human experiences through a cultural lens. Influenced by my late grandmother’s passion for photography, my work preserve cultural narratives while challenging stereotypes and fostering cross-cultural understanding.
Artist statement
I invited my mother and her sisters to relive moments with my late grandmother by recreating photographs she left behind. These recreations are more than visual homage but a way for all of us to feel connected to her and each other. It was the one thing I could do for them knowing how much they miss her.
