Charlotte Yonga

Born in Paris in 1985, Charlotte Yonga focuses on questions related to identity processes, alterity or ‘otherness’, and the concept of individuality when subjected to displacement, as well as the cross-perspectives between the Global North and South. She delves into the complexities of individuality amidst a shifting global landscape. Focusing on capturing people in characteristic contexts, her work highlights the interplay of realism, strength, and vulnerability, revealing the depth within seemingly ordinary moments. In addition to her photography, she also ventures into video and sound into installations projects. With a lifelong passion for drawing, Yonga recently started showcasing her intimate exploration of colours and forms through her 'therapeutic sketches'. Through her exploration, she seeks to evoke distinct impressions and textures, weaving a compelling narrative of human experiences.
