In Albino, photojournalist Ana Palacios takes us inside a shelter
for people with albinism and reveals what daily life is like for
those living with the genetic condition in Tanzania. As Palacios
documents, widespread ignorance of the causes of albinism has fed
stigmatization, marginalization, persecution, and prejudice within
the country. In addition to the social and physical threats that
those with albinism face from other Tanzanians, they must also
confront the strong possibility of skin cancer a disease for which
effective treatment options can be found in the West, but which in
Africa tends to reduce life expectancy for those with albinism to
under thirty years. Bearing witness to the efforts of a group of
Spanish aid workers to promote health and education in Tanzania,
Albino highlights their work on programs to improve patient
treatment and training for local doctors. In these subtle, complex,
and ultimately optimistic images, Palacios shows the moments of
struggle, but also joy, that mark the lives of the residents of the
shelter.
