Presentation on the photographic series

Down Libreville's streets
Navigating identities: is there a relationship between Diaspora’s homeland and new land? How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies?
Libreville is a city with a strong foreign community. In this photographic series we are going to introduce you to a member of the Beninese community which is one of the biggest in Gabon. Pascal is a cab driver in the city of Libreville. As soon as you get into his cab, you are automatically attracted by his traditional Beninese dress and the two flags of Gabon and Benin that fly on board his car. It is therefore not difficult to notice and understand his attachment to his diaspora's homeland Benin and new land Gabon. Pascal is therefore part of the Beninese diaspora living in Gabon.
