The Absence of Color
The Absence
of Color
Uganda, 2012
Albinos stand out in East Africa. Often the lone white face in a black crowd, a result of a genetic condition that impairs normal skin pigmentation. They have to endure persecution, social isolation, murder, human rights violations, denial of fair access to education, as well as to healthcare and employment. “The absence of colour” attempts to give a face and a voice to Ugandan Albinos who are discriminated because of a lack of colour.
