Jamm Rek is a response commonly used in Senegal when a person is greeted. It loosely means ‘only peace’ in Wolof. It is a fitting title for Laylah Amatullah Barrayn’s solo exhibition, which is a visual register of her travels to various cities in the West African nation over the last decade. Jamm Rek - a sense of gratitude, mindfulness and spiritual connectedness - was a consistent state of being when Barrayn was drawn to create a photograph. “I wanted to record the moments where I felt a heightened sense of stillness, joy and love, I wanted to remember what was happening.”

The exhibition will move to Mak Gallery in London September 26. You can purchase work here:
