Rahima Gambo's project combines the aesthetics of photography and sculpture to reflect on northern Nigerian women and the increasing use of female suicide bombers by Boko Haram.
Her multilayered narratives navigate the spaces between documentary, visual art, and photojournalism. Gambo is the recipient of the Magnum Foundation Fellowship (2014), the International Women’s Media Foundation grant (2015), the LensCulture Emerging Talent Award (2016), and the Fourthwall Books Photobook Award (2017). She has received degrees in gender, social policy, and development studies from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism (MS), the London School of Economics and Political Science (MSc), and the University of Manchester (BA).
