We invite you to showcase your unique perspectives on everyday people in their daily lives, whether documented or staged. Through your lens, capture the identity, essence, diversity, lifestyles, and stories of the people in your community.

Sign up on AMAKA platform, submit a photo story of at least 5 images to showcase this month’s theme “PORTRAITS”.
It’s about authenticity, not professional gear. Your narrative is key – tell us the story behind your photos in a short blurb.

Seen in Asmara, Eritrea by Yvan Rodic
“Asmara 🇪🇷 met so many stylish gentlemen walking/riding the streets of Eritrea’s capital and sipping macchiatos at old-school Italian-style cafés. Loved enjoying some caffeine while having long talks with some of these men.
“I have been coming to Gianna’s café everyday for so many years. I love it so much because we are a strong community, once a year we are even having a feast together. I grew up in Ethiopian-ruled Eritrea and learned Amharic at school [while Tigrinya (the local main language) was banned].
In 1972, I got a scholarship to study in Maryland (USA). After a few years, I came back to fight for the independence of Eritrea. I didn’t tell my parents because I didn’t want to worry them. I fought for so many years and got so many wounds but it was all worth it so I could eventually live in a free country. My three kids live in Ethiopia and soon will emigrate to the USA.” Afork (photo 4)

The Art of: is a series that spotlights cultural practices, artisanal trade, and craftsmanship indigenous to Africa. Through visual documentation, it aims to preserve indigenous practices and the art of their techniques while highlighting the work of the artisans and practitioners who carry forward these traditions.
Our first episode transports us to a small Nubian community in Kibera, Kenya, where filmmakers April and Tierney Walker document some of the fascinating beautification rituals undertaken by a Nubian bride 'ARUS' as part of her wedding preparations.
