African immigrants pose nude for calendar in Spain
Madrid - Twelve African immigrants living in precarious conditions in Spain have posed nude for a calendar the sales of which will help them survive for a while, the daily El Pais reported Monday.
The men from Mali, Togo, Senegal and Mauritania appear in discreet pictures taken by Valencia photographer Adolfo Lopez in the calendar unofficially sponsored by an immigrant support organization.
Lopez said he tried to take elegant pictures to reflect the dignity of migrants.
“Without clothes, we are all equal,” said 32-year Mady Fofana from Mali, one of the models.
Housewives, firefighters, police officers and other ordinary people have previously posed in scanty clothing for calendars seeking to raise funds or to publicize problems. (dpa)
