In Deepening Dependency, Kenyan photographer and visual artist Mbinga Mwambi uses shapes and colours as analogies for the human condition.

Rectangular planes represent humans and a maroon red represents the society within which we exist and function.

The photograph hints at the pressure and urge of conformity. The closeness of the individual and the society in the piece points to the loss in our sense of individual exploration and wonder and the setting for popular culture which carry a false sense of security.

We are looking for an image and a 500-word story in English or French from anyone living within or outside the continent with a story to share about relearning or experiencing the continent.

This is Mohamed, one of the last three craftsmen working in the dyeing market in Marrakesh. Mohamed wakes up every morning riding the alleys of Marrakesh with his motorcycle, heading towards the textile dyeing market where he meets the two other artisans still practicing the traditional craft. Due to the neglect and difficulties, this profession suffers. One of those difficulties is the lack of domestic demand for traditional and homemade products.

Pandemic closures in 2020 forced Mohamed to close shop, but now he has to return to the aftermath of the closure.

24-year-old Rida Tabit sent us this entry from Marrakesh, Morocco in February. Do you have a story to share too?

We are now open for submissions for @ivisibleproject - send us an image and 500 word story about the realities of life on the continent.

Visit www.iVisible.org for more information and to submit your story!
