Among 350 photographs, that of the Gambian Mariama has been the one awarded in the photography competition ‘African women in Spain’, organized by the Women for Africa Foundation with the objective of giving visibility to these women.

 

The Gambian Mariama is the main figure of the image that has won the third edition of this photography competition, which tries to show the community of around half a million African women residing in Spain and to document their different realities.

 

Behind the image, titled Mariama’s afternoons, is Asier Alcorta Hernández, who has been able to show the everyday life of this woman during a work day cleaning the Goya Museum of Zaragoza. According to the foundation, when she took the photography, Mariama was dedicating part of her time to give talks about female genital mutilation.

Alcorta is joined by Salvador Lorén who, among the 170 members of the competition, has been awarded the second prize thanks to his photograph Yacine, where one can see a young woman from Burkina-Faso smiling in Valencia. The first award in this competition is 1,000 euros, whereas the second is 500.

 

According to the judges —la gallery director and photographer Blanca Berlín, the photographer Alfredo Cáluz, and the expert in communication and member of the board of the Ángeles Puerta Foundation—, winners in this competition are able to reflect, on their photographs, “everyday moments of the daily life of the people they photograph with great artistic and technical quality”.
