'The Freetown I See'

 

Exhibition of photography by Francess Ngaboh-Smart of Freetown, Sierra Leone

 

 

Francess Ngaboh-Smart was born on the island of Bonthe in Sierra Leone in 1982. She attended the Annie Walsh Memorial School and later Fourah Bay College in Freetown.

 

In 2007, Francess took part in a basic skills digital photography workshop at the British Council in Freetown, Sierra Leone, led by Hull photographers Lee Karen Stow and Fiona Caley.

In 2010, Francess published her first photographic body of work entitled ‘Nya Jee Salone / My Mother Sierra Leone’ which has since sold out, providing income for rent, food and her family’s welfare. This body of work was exhibited at the Reading International Solidarity Centre in Reading.
