When this interview will be released, Angèle will be in Beijing, China, for her first exhibition in this symbolic city. We will try to enter a little bit more in her world and will discuss very current subjects in an increasingly conservative Europe.

- TRANSLATION: English
- NAME: Angèle
- CITY: AMSTERDAM
- Who is Angèle?
- A photo artist of Cameroonian origin, having grown up in France, Angèle has worked in the Netherlands for about 30 years. She is the mother of three young adults. Her photos, throughout her expositions, enjoy a solid international standing today.
- Why is she an inspiration?
- Where to start? First of all the way Angèle highlights women in general and black women in particular is simply divine. Her themed series are rich in wisdom without mentioning her publications, photo books and numerous expositions. Furthermore, her engagement for the street children of Yaoundé sums up the naturally exceptional woman that flourishes inside her.
- Which subjects are you going to tackle?
- When this interview will be released, Angèle will be in Beijing, China, for her first exhibition in this symbolic city. We will try to enter a little bit more in her world and will discuss very current subjects in an increasingly conservative Europe.
Angèle resplendit de beauté irradiante !… Puisqu’elle recherche la beauté intérieure de ses modèles pour l’exprimer dans des photos sublimes, l’effet de contagion fonctionne et on se sent meilleur en admirant ses magnifiques photos. Merci à Angèle Etoundi Essamba pour le partage (en particulier sur les femmes voilées, c’est un point de vue d’artiste !)et à Sonia Johnson pour avoir géré cette rencontre remarquable.
