Chapter One: Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study

Riverine communities, located along rivers and water bodies, face unique challenges in terms of their environment, lifestyle, and cultural preservation. Bagudo Local Government Area (LGA) in Kebbi State is home to several riverine communities whose daily lives are intricately connected to the rivers. These communities are often marked by distinct customs, fishing practices, and living arrangements that rely on the river for sustenance and livelihood. However, these communities are vulnerable to environmental changes, urbanization, and the erosion of their traditional ways of life. Photography can play a crucial role in chronicling the lives of these riverine communities, preserving their traditions, practices, and environments for future generations. This study explores how photography can serve as a tool for documenting and preserving the rich cultural heritage of riverine communities in Bagudo LGA.

1.2 Statement of the Problem

Despite their importance, riverine communities in Bagudo LGA face threats such as environmental degradation, economic hardship, and the loss of traditional practices. While there are efforts to preserve their heritage, these communities lack adequate documentation and visibility. Photography has the potential to capture the essence of their way of life, helping to raise awareness about their struggles and their cultural significance. However, the role of photography in chronicling the lives of riverine communities in Bagudo LGA remains underexplored. This study seeks to examine how photography can help preserve and promote the unique culture and lifestyle of these communities.
