Washington Uba, a Documentary photo-artist who has concerned himself over the lowest end of Nigerian social fabric. Having worked for charity for about fifteen years, he encountered the seemingly failure of humans to bring the “touch of sympathy” to the abandoned, vulnerable and destitute. Since 2005 Washington began pictorial documentation of the extremely poor and the lower class in Nigeria. Ranging from destitute and extremely poor to the leprosy sufferers, his aim in this direction was to highlight their plight and galvanize attention from the general public on their Needs and wellbeing, as well as to raise fund as a charity to the people. To give his Documentary a holistic approach to the social struggle using Art as a medium he has equally engaged himself in the motion documentary of the hearing and speech impaired entrepreneurs ’and it’s titled “HANDICABILITY”. Washington has several exhibitions to his credit http://washuba.webs.com--~
