Positive West Africa

Vadu Rodrigues • TEDxPraia

Psitive West Africa needs to be the way we see and show Africa. The photographs that we take on our continent, or that others take from our continent, need to show the real beauty of our people, of every street, every community and every country, if we are to change the way the world tells our stories. Vadu Rodrigues is a photography lover who has collaborated on projects for DreamWorld, The Lion King, Akomaasa Arts and Help Me Learn Africa. His very particular, intimate but non-invasive way of exploring and portraying the various realities of the more than 25 countries he has visited, made this Cape Verdean gain space in the national and international photography market.
