Makoko, la “Venezia dell'Africa” come viene chiamata qui, la baraccopoli galleggiante più grande al mondo, ospita una solida comunità di oltre 300mila persone. Questo straordinario insediamento è alle prese con una serie di sfide, prima fra tutte la terribile assenza di infrastrutture e servizi essenziali, come elettricità, acqua potabile e strutture igienico-sanitarie. Immerse nel cuore di Lagos, il centro economico più grande e in rapida espansione dell'Africa, le palafitte di Makoko galleggiano sull'acqua, che paradossalmente funge anche da sistema fognario per i 20 milioni di abitanti di questa vibrante metropoli. Oltre ai suoi problemi infrastrutturali, Makoko deve far fronte a problemi pervasivi che comprendono povertà, l'accesso limitato all'istruzione e scarsità sanitaria. Queste difficoltà gravano pesantemente sui residenti, mettendo quotidianamente alla prova la loro resilienza. Inoltre, la comunità è alle prese con complesse preoccupazioni relative al possesso e alla proprietà della terra, esistente in uno stato informale che rimane non riconosciuto dal governo. Sorprendentemente, nonostante questi ostacoli e l'assenza di servizi basilari, la gente di Makoko mostra un incrollabile spirito di unità. Collaborano armoniosamente per fornire supporto reciproco, trovando modi innovativi non solo per sopravvivere ma anche per prosperare nel loro ambiente distintivo e stimolante. Di fronte alle avversità, hanno creato un profondo senso di appartenenza all'interno della loro affiatata comunità (Makoko Slum, Lagos, Nigeria - Ottobre 2023)

I have been to Lagos several times, but from Victoria Island these realities remain far away.
I remember only once, about twenty years ago, when a driver took me on a panoramic tour of the city to tell me the stories it was hiding, including this one about Makoko...
At the time you could still walk around in relative safety, and I love to take you to visit the "real" places.
Nigerians are people capable of extreme gestures, for better or for worse, and I learned it firsthand.
This photo is, simply, phenomenal!
Thanks for the memory you sparked ;-)

A photograph that tells a lot, just looking at it excites.
A shot to contemplate, which nails you to the monitor.
I envy you... Great. ;-)

I add myself to the many and well-deserved compliments. A shot that gives emotions. The contrast between a close-up with bold colors and an almost monochromatic background is beautiful. The cut of the lights on the eye and the expression of the subject are fantastic. Thank you.

Magnificent! An image of great beauty, rich in a poor and "human" life of which we have lost the connotations and the origin: the scene with the small child cradled inside the net, the probable very young mother with the dog and the boats beyond: a photo that is worth a thousand words, excellent reportage, congratulations.
