What are the key findings of the Afromayores project regarding the experiences of Afro-elderly individuals in Spain, and how does it challenge existing narratives about Black immigration?

The Afromayores project, a collaborative photographic and audiovisual endeavor by journalist Lucía-Asué Mbomío Rubio and photographer Laurent Leger-Adame, showcases the life stories of Afro-elderly individuals (65+) in Spain. The project's second season, viewable on Instagram and YouTube, highlights the experiences of immigrants who chose to remain in Spain after retirement, defying the common perception of recent Black immigration. This challenges the prevailing narrative and fosters a more nuanced understanding of the Afro-Spanish community.
