Japa: Beyond the Escape - Sub Sahara Advisory Panel (SSAP), Cardiff
Japa: Beyond the Escape is a conceptual photographic portrait exploring themes of migration, identity, and mental health within the Black community.
“One man - Five faces”. Dressed as a waiter, a nurse, a construction worker, a security officer—and at the centre, robed in regal Yoruba attire. This image collapses the myth of a linear migration story. Instead, it unveils a deeper truth: behind every “success abroad” are layers of invisible labour, suppressed identity, and emotional toll. This is the essence of reinvention: embodying ancestral pride while fulfilling roles that sometimes require silence, strength, and erasure.
Each uniform is more than just a job; it functions as a mask, a performance, and a survival strategy.
