Kitène Koné Yah is an Ivorian photographer currently living in Brighton, United Kingdom. With the medium of photography, she sees a way to (re)discover herself as a human being, to (re)connect with herself and her environment, in the present moment. Kitène, as her relatives call her, is passionate about photography, visual arts, research, and human development. Through photography, she overcomes her shyness and finds a voice, non-audible but visible. Kitène creates, gradually aiming for a pure experience with her work.
In 2021, she participated in a group exhibition organized by UNDP-Cote d'Ivoire in partnership with the FAAP, a project for the sake of the sixteen (16) days of activism against gender-based violence. On this occasion, she has been able to express her views on psychological violence in trying to represent the damaged mind and spirit of women under psychological influence.
