FPC425 - Talking with Nadia Ferroukhi and about her project: In the name of mother (ENG)

Nadia Ferroukhi lives in Paris. Born of a Czech mother and an Algerian father, a nomad since her childhood. Today, as a documentary photographer and a visual storyteller, she travels the planet armed with her camera, expressing herself through reports that she publishes in the French and international press. She exhibits in festivals, galleries and international museums.

Multilingual and curious, her „3rd eye“ and her empathy allow her to fulfill all the aspirations that have animated her since childhood. Her photos tell the stories of all those who, through their specificity, contribute to the diversity of the planet. Over the years, she has built stories, with a particular focus on the status of women.

Nadia established two associations : Douniatou Association in 2008 to help Tumaï, a woman village in Kenya. Tumaï is part of her latest story showcased in Les Matriarches, photo & textbook. And, Anno’s Arts in 2022, to support the academic and artistic education of children living in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya and to promote exchanges with France : https://www.annosarts.org
