♛ Talk about us : Aisha Augie-Kuta.
✲ Aisha Augie-Kuta became interested in photography when her father gave her a camera at a young age. The rest is history. Aisha left her job as a Human Resource manager to pursue commercial photography in 2008. Her work spans across documentary, fashion and aerial photography. She became certified in Digital Filmmaking from The New York Film academy and in curating contemporary art exhibitions from the Chelsea College of art and design, London.
✫ She uses juxtaposition in her work as her way of pushing the idea that there are always two sides of a story; this comes from her background in photojournalism and Mass Communication. Her personal projects explore issues of gender and identity influenced by her experiences as a female, mixed race and mixed tribe individual who struggled to fit in earlier in life.
In 2010 she was included along with 50 Nigerian women in a book and exhibition for the nation’s 50@50 celebrations supported by Women for Change initiative. She was the winner of the British Council ‘Through-my-eyes’ competition. In 2014 she held her first solo photographic exhibition, entitled “Alternative Evil”.
Learning through travel video. Worth to watch it. Enjoy.
