Time-honored European stories take on new meanings addressing Nigeria’s history and culture
where an elder would sit under a tree and tell stories, an on-air version of the age-old oral tradition. In earlier days, the ideal light sources were the full moon and the stars, casting a silver-blue illumination on the faces of eager children and adults alike. There also might have been the sound of crickets not far off and a soft breeze rustling the leaves of the trees.
When I stepped into adulthood, my heart broke at those memories, and I began to turn my gaze to the reality of my childhood and the norm of silence that blanketed it. Why wasn’t this violence talked about at home? In 2018 I started to take all my questions and thoughts and make them concrete through photography. My project, Another Tale by Moonlight, is a reimagination of European fairy tales, juxtaposing the historical, cultural, environmental, and sociopolitical realities of Nigeria.Please be respectful of copyright.
