In The Frame features: @san0we.

This month we're introducing a new face to the community Salem. An upcoming star who's work is people focused and colourful.

We the Shoot team had the pleasure to speak with Salem and her personality is so vibrant and full of life. Her photography is rooted in people’s stories, aiming not only to share her own experiences but also highlighting the heritage, culture, and individuality of others across Ireland. She understands what it means to be behind the camera, yet she’s also looking to get a taste of being a model for a change to experience the creative process from the other side. We’re so happy to have her join our ever-growing community and cannot wait to see her at our next event 💜.

The Shoot Ireland is a community for photographers, models, and creatives to connect, collaborate, and showcase their work. We're all about fostering creativity and providing a space for everyone to grow. Join us at our next event and be part of the action!

1 week to go! Wild Culture: The Artists
POP Up exhibition, performances & feasting
Culture Night 5-9pm @ 4 Nassau St

Wild Culture invites you to an evening celebrating cultural survival, resilience, and solidarity featuring Salem Anowe Chukwuezi.

Salem is an award winning Nigerian visual artist based in Co. Meath and Dublin. Working with photography, film and sound, her practice focuses on cultural identity and lived experiences, particularly within Black and Brown communities. She creates space for people that are often underrepresented within Irish culture, using photography as a means of both documentation and dialogue. In 2026, she was awarded Judges’ Choice for the inaugural Taylor Wesssing Dublin Photo Prize.

Migration has always been part of Irish history. Ireland has long been shaped by people leaving, returning, and arriving. Today, that movement continues in new ways, adding to the country’s culture and identity rather than taking away from it.

No Man’s Land is about belonging, identity, and space in Ireland. Set within Irish landscapes, it brings forward the voices of people from immigrant backgrounds, including those from Nigeria, India, Romania, Congo, Ghana, and Côte d’Ivoire. Through portraits, the work explores how these individuals see themselves, and how they are seen, in a country that is still defining who belongs.
