✨ GAME OF CONFIDENCE / THE ARTISTS BEHIND ✨
Join us for the Exhibition Opening this Friday in Abuja!
"Boxing is about owning your anger, controlling yourself, working hard, punching, fighting, fending for oneself... But it is also about solidarity, friendship, loving and caring for one another."
To create the photographic project "Game of Confidence", @taiwoaina_ , Nigerian visual story teller from Abuja and Claire Nicolas, French social scientist from London, worked together during a residency hosted last March at Alliance française de Lagos / Mike Adenuga Centre, @af.lagos.
Taiwo Aina learnt photography from her high school days and has developed interest for creativeportraiture since. She is a member of the African Photojournalism Database, a joint project by World Press Photo and Everyday Africa. She is also taking part in the Black Women Photographers project and was selected for "Up Next Photographers" in 2020. Taiwo Aina's work has been selected in Colorado, USA (2021).
Claire Nicolas published papers on gender and sports in West Africa in various academic journals. She completed her PhD at Lausanne University in 2019. She is now a postdoctoral Fellow from the @swissnationalsciencefoundation and currently based at the Department of History of @kclhistory, London. She is currently working on her first monograph: "Une si longue route : sport, genre et citoyenneté au Ghana et en Côte d'Ivoire".

✨ ART EXHIBITION l GAME OF CONFIDENCE ✨
"When boxers come into the gym, they reach a sanctuary. There, female boxers encounter a place for empowerment, where they can build their mind, body and soul. Witnessing the strength of Lagos boxers allows one to get a glimpse of the countless possibilities opened to women."
