Every Day Life: A Collective Photography Exhibition

Every Day Life: A Collective Photography Exhibition

Featuring the work of  Anwar Sadat Swaka, Kelvin Juma, Jeremiah Onyango, and Ramadhan Karali  , the exhibition presented diverse visual narratives that explored identity, place, memory, resilience, and community.

As our first exhibition,  Every Day Life  laid the foundation for future exhibitions, research projects, and storytelling initiatives.

Every Day Life  was our first collective photography exhibition—a milestone that brought together photographers, storytellers, journalists, friends and members of the public to reflect on the beauty, complexity, and humanity found in ordinary life. The exhibition challenged the idea that only extraordinary events deserve attention. Instead, it celebrated the everyday moments, people, and places that shape our communities and define our shared experiences.
