As a contributing photographer to the global project " 1 in 6 by 2030 ", I have documented two stories," Les Petits Débrouillards and The Anou, " that shed light on the lives and experiences of older individuals in my community.
1 in 6 by 2030 is a collaborative initiative that brings together photographers from around the world to put a human face on one of the most important "statistics" of our time — the fact that by the year 2030, 1 in 6 people in the world will be over the age of 60.
Photographers Ed Kashi and Ilvy Njiokiktjien, have both had a long interest in issues surrounding aging. They invited photographer Sara Terry, their colleague from VII Photo, who focuses on long-term projects, to join them in creating a multi-year, visual storytelling archive that documents an unprecedented moment in the history of humankind.
