Caption

DOGOYARO. Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria – 2019. A woman wearing traditional masculine attire smokes a cigarette and sips on dogoyaro, a popular drink made of mixed liquors. Wearing the agbaba and cap and indulging in the traditionally ‘masculine’ habits of smoking and drinking, Nnebuifé comments on the arbitrary ways gender norms shape and inform identity and limit possibilities.
