"May the earth bend before him who stands against me"

Inspired by this baoulé proverb inscribed on a wall in the small village of Amanikro, this series seeks to show a new side of cocoa farmers in Côte d'Ivoire. Their portraits and daily activities reveal a community where spirituality, family and artistic expression are paramount. This project was completed as part of the NOOR Foundation Visual Storytelling Programme in partnership with Tony's Chocolonely in Amanikro, Côte d’Ivoire.
