Exhibitions

Benazir Ussene’s photographic work has been showcased in a variety of meaningful exhibitions that reflect both her artistic vision and social consciousness. Her images were featured in the Photography Competition organized by the Parish Council of Marvila, where her ability to frame everyday beauty stood out. As part of the Costura Ponto Com project, her work wove visual narratives that paralleled the project's themes of creativity and community. Between 2016 and 2017, her lens became a tool for advocacy in the exhibition A Click for Social Inclusion, a project that celebrated diversity and gave voice to stories often left untold—each photograph a quiet testament to the power of visibility and human connection. In 2017, her work was also presented at the Alegro Alfragide Shopping Centre, transforming a commercial space into a gallery of emotion and expression, where passing glances met lingering stories frozen in time.

Artistic Style

Benazir Ussene’s photographic journey unfolds through a series of poignant exhibitions, each a window into her world of quiet observation and emotional storytelling. Her work first captured attention in the Photography Competition of the Parish Council of Marvila, where she unveiled everyday moments with poetic clarity. In the project Costura Ponto Com, her photographs became threads in a larger tapestry of community and identity, weaving intimate scenes that resonated with collective memory. With A Click for Social Inclusion (2016–2017), her lens transformed into a voice for the unheard, capturing fragments of lives often overlooked and presenting them with dignity and warmth. In 2017, her images found a new home at the Alegro Alfragide Shopping Centre, where amidst the rush of consumerism, her photographs invited stillness—pauses that beckoned viewers to feel, to see, to remember. Through each exhibition, Benazir continues to turn fleeting instants into lasting visual poems.
