"BORN FREE, LIBERI."
30 years after South Africa's dawn of democracy, questions surrounding the continent's future hang precariously in the air. For those who exist in the African diaspora, the question of liminality is urgent and pressing.
Utilising disposables from 2021 til present, Nigerian-Samoan academic and photographer Ijeoma Chidi Opara has documented her environment in a subconsciously ethnographic manner.
What does it mean to be from the born-free generation? Where do young Africans place their hopes, dreams and desires? BORN FREE/LIBERI as an ongoing project, captures the moments of rest, joy, solitude found amongst young black people in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Abuja and Stellenbosch.
What does it mean to be, born free?
"BORN FREE, LIBERI."
