Presentation on the photographic series

Origins
Navigating identities: is there a relationship between Diaspora’s homeland and new land? How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies?
With “Origins”, Tidou attempts to define the concept of culture and how it shapes through time and space. Her works disembowel the cultural layers embodied by a person and shows the various identities one could carry. Every day the selves of multicultural people imbricate, using the correct layout to occupy more space in reality – or being repressed to blend in a specific environment. The goal of „Origins“ is to create a visual conversational space for and with diasporas. In each photograph, the border of their country of “Origin” is the line that connects the different identities carried by these people part of the diaspora in Europe. (Kenya, Santa Lucia , Zimbabwe, Gambia borders are visible on these photographs) . Crossing the physical border of our country is mostly when we start developping other identities.
