African Queen was a photography exhibition that explores and celebrates the history of both real and legendary queens of Africa or of African origin. The collection looks at issues related to history, culture, women’s empowerment, strength and beauty.
The exhibition was a collaboration between Christelle Pellecuer, local photographers and several women from the community who are portraying the ‘African queen’.
