“I try to dream collectively”: Photographer Delali Ayivi on creative projects as catalysts for communities
Delali Ayivi is a Togolese-German photographer based in London and Lomé, recognised for her work exploring identity and authentic storytelling, and in her Nicer Tuesdays talk she asked: who gets to decide what’s possible in art? She also reflected on how image-making has allowed her to question oversimplified, Western-framed stories often imposed on Togolese identities, as well as her creative journey from uploading photos to Facebook to a larger cultural platform. Thanks to EartH (Evolutionary Arts Hackney).
