ABUJA PHOTO FESTIVAL

Sulaiman Abdullahi Danladi

A Nigerian documentary photographer and visual storyteller whose work focuses on life in Northern Nigeria, especially among pastoralist and rural communities. Through my lens, I explore themes of identity, mobility, culture, and survival — often highlighting the strength and resilience found in overlooked spaces. 

Artist Statement 

In documenting pastoral nomads, rural children, and daily survival in remote areas like Dawakin Tofa, I capture the global relevance of local lives. Through these stories, I aim to show how even in isolation, communities remain connected — by climate pressures, shared struggles, and collective hope. My work is a testament to the fact that our world, though unequal, is undeniably connected.
