Presentation on the photographic series

Topographical similarities across landscapes
Navigating identities: is there a relationship between Diaspora’s homeland and new land? How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies?, Youth and their roots: what is it like to be born or grow up as a member of the diaspora; how can the youth connect with their homeland?, Diasporas helping their communities: what is it like to assist communities during a crisis?
This series depict the shared carnage indiscriminate burning of natural habitat and deforestation has on the environment and life in general . Despite the wave of migration occasioned by the search for better living conditions, escape from insecurity and other adverse conditions, humans have historically found ways to adapt and collaborate for survival. A common prevalent theme is the sense of belonging derived from a shared ethnicity, religion, and other avenues for community building noticeable in the diaspora. These support structures foster cohesion amidst diversity and inadvertently the kind of competition that drives growth both home and abroad. Hopefully this series of photographs is a wake up call for preservative efforts geared towards maintaining our natural habitats regardless of geographical location.
