A Noble Conversation with Omoregie Osakpolor | EP 1

  • Resumen

  • In this episode, we sit down with Omoregie Osakpolor, a documentary photographer and filmmaker whose storytelling offers a profound commentary on the intricate weave of societal fabrics.

    He shares insights from his latest work, "We Speak Their Names in Hushed Tones," illustrating the perils and emotional turmoil that family members experience due to the lack of communication with loved ones (some for about 6 years) who migrate from Nigeria to Europe using the Mediterranean Sea. These loved ones are often killed by aquatic predators, detained for illegal migration, or taken as victims of human trafficking and very few of them actually make it to their destination. Because their loved ones have no idea where they are, they keep hoping to hear from them. This leads to grief, leaving a void filled with unanswered prayers and endless waiting.

    Omoregie's work has been displayed at the United Nations Headquarters in New York and the annual South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, TX. He is also a recipient of multiple international awards including the Fashola Photography Foundation Prize.
