Tengbeh Kamara (1996) is a photographer based in Amsterdam whose work moves between the documentary, autobiographical, and political. They explore intimacy, memory, and the politics of visibility within Black and queer experiences. Their practice is defined by a quiet, tactile attention to the personal as a site of resistance and connection.
