The insurgency that has plagued Borno State for years has so far distorted its image, overshadowing the beauty of its traditions and conservative lifestyle. With Bits of Borno: Bruised but Not Broken, Fati Abubakar sought to reconfigure the perception of Borno State by showing not only the impact of the crisis on its people and cities but also their resilience and normality. Fati Abubakar is a documentary photographer, photojournalist, and public health humanitarian worker. Using photography, she documents culture, conflict, urban poverty, rural development, and humanitarian issues in Nigeria at the community level while countering narratives for underrepresented communities.
