TAMARA ARRANZ
JAMBO-MAMBO (Series)
DESCRIPTION
JAMBO-MAMBO __ In Swahili, Jambo and Mambo are two words used as a colloquial greeting, of direct reply when people meet. This project is built in the form of a dual conversation through diptychs between portraits and places, as a kind of shot-reverse shot on a journey around northeast Tanzania and Zanzibar through the people who crossed my path.
A country portrayed through its people. Tanzanians from the mountains, from villages, from cities, from coast, young, old, ...as a roadmap.
Jambo-Mambo is an ongoing project as I would like to complete it with portraits from more regions.
