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.
Laylah Amatullah Barrayn is an award-winning documentary and portrait photographer working in the medium for 20 years. She is the co-author of MFON: Women Photographers of the African Diaspora. It is the first anthology in nearly 30 years that highlights photography produced by women of African descent. Ms. Barrayn is a frequent contributor to The New York Times.
