Aneesa Dawoojee - Children of Tobago
Professionally printed on 10x12 Arches 88 fine art matte paper, 100% cotton-rag.
one of the images that form part of the work in March of the Hummingbirds. This image is from the children of Tobago series where each year I have photographed the same group of teenagers diving into the sea each summer.
Dawoojee’s strong belief in multiculturalism comes from her Trinidadian and Mauritian parentage. Places where African, Indian, Syrian, Chinese and European people could all be together in one place without judgement. Her home in South London is a similar meeting place of migrant communities who are creating their own fusion of British culture, where everyone has a place.
This project is in memory of all the elders whose ordinary lives were not reflected in textbooks. Inspired by her mother’s story, and extensive time spent in the Caribbean, Dawoojee has been moved to explore the deeper links between the West Indies and the UK, through themes of inter-race relations, indenture, gender, faith, love and feminism.
Aneesa Dawoojee is a multi-award-winning portrait and social documentary photographer from South London. Her work focuses on countering stereotypes and celebrating the ordinary people and communities around her. She is an Associate Lecturer at Northampton University and a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society.
Aneesa is the recipient of the RPS Solo International Photography Exhibition Award and has created imagery for large-scale campaigns and documentaries for Warner Brothers Discovery, Croydon NHS Trust’s Kindness Campaign, BBC's Children in Need and TNT Sports.
Her touring exhibition Only Human was shown at the Royal Albert Hall (2024), and her most recent solo exhibition March of the Hummingbirds opened at the Saatchi Gallery (2024–2025). This brings together portrait and documentary work spanning her ongoing projects across the Caribbean and the UK.
“I am supporting Photofusion as it is gallery space close to my home and area that I try to represent throughout my work. Brixton was my Mothers first home from Trinidad and my father did building and engineering work locally. Supporting a local art space like this feels important and right as it will do a lot to continue the growth and development for all of our children hoping to explore their art, creativity and personal stories. To me it is an important part of the community and I am very honoured to contribute in some small way.” -Aneesa Dawoojee
