Lorraine Turci, independent photographic artist since 2019, is in Gambia from April to May 2024. During this period, she is devoting herself to the preparation of an immersive photographic exhibition on Gambian youth. Her meticulous work explores the complex relationships between human beings and their environment, highlighting the interactions between territory, identity, transmission, nature, evolution and preservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lorraine won a major commission from the Biblioth\u00e8que Nationale de France and the French Ministry of Culture, Radioscopie de la France en 2022, and has received support from various grants, including Fluxus Art Projects from the Institut Fran\u00e7ais, and the Franco-Japanese Sasakawa Foundation. Her artistic career includes residencies in Japan, at the \u00c9cole Nationale Sup\u00e9rieure de la Photographie d’Arles and in Greenland, testifying to the diversity of her experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of this residency, Lorraine Turci is establishing partnerships with institutions such as UNICEF, and is considering collaborations with renowned media. At the same time, she is planning professional workshops in English, creating an enriching opportunity for exchange with the local community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And to round things off in style, this program is enriched by another artistic experience, as we welcome the International Women Photographers Award ( IWPA) exhibition. This exhibition highlights the work of Lorraine Turci, as well as that of two other award-winners, Lee-Ann Olwage (South Africa) and Luisa D\u00f6rr (Brazil). This exhibition, available as part of a tour of the Alliances, is produced in partnership with the Alliance de Ziguinchor and IWPA. This joint initiative underlines our ongoing commitment to the visibility of women photographers. Indeed, we are proud to contribute to showcasing female talent and to offer a diverse and enriching perspective to our audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look forward to a captivating exploration of Gambian youth through the unique eyes of Lorraine Turci. We invite you to follow her journey and the developments of this residency on our website and social networks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
