Description: The second episode of Foam Talks: Talent edition is with Nigerian photographer Rahima Gambo and Aziza Harmel, curator & writer. The two collaborated during Bamako Encounters - African Biennale of Photography in Mali in 2019 and have been working together since. With podcast host Mirjam Kooiman, curator at Foam, they will delve deeper into Gambo’s work and her approach. She is inspired by anthropologist and filmmaker Trinh T. Minh-ha’s way of "speaking nearby" – a way of documenting something without focusing on it exclusively or directly. Foam produced this episode as part of a special series of podcasts on the occasion of Foam Talent 2020. Each episode focusses on one artist aiming to evoke a conversation around their approach, offer an insight into the discourses surrounding a specific project, contextualizing it within the photography field while not forgetting the personal stories and dreams behind it. In addition, each conversation features a special guest that has a shared professional or personal connection to the artist. The encounters are moderated by Mirjam Kooiman, curator of this year's Foam Talent exhibition. Concept: Mirjam Kooiman and Amelie Schüle Production: Nordin Janssen Mastering & Mixing: Andersen Audio Productions
