Meet Fati Abubakar from Borno , one of the six Contemporary West African Photographers

Fati , a Kanuri girl from Borno is now an international female Photographer who has received international acclaim for the fantastic work she has been doing in north-eastern Nigeria.

Fati is not simply a phenomenal photographer, but also a great storyteller who is dedicated to portraying the unbreakable spirit of people in Borno state who have suffered from the trauma caused by Boko Haram.

Despite challenges of cultural barrier, Fati took Photography as a career, a career that took her to more than 20 countries around the world (Mostly Europe & Asia).

Fati is a graduate of B.Sc nursing from the University of Maiduguri, and later obtained her M.Sc in the United State Of America.

Through documenting the everyday lives of people in Borno, she manages to show that despite the Boko Haram crisis, the beauty of Borno remains.

Fati has certainly acknowledged Borno’s beauty and, in a way, she urges us to do the same.
