JR - 28 Millimètres, Women Are Heroes, Action In Kibera Slum, Into The Wild, Kenya - 2009/2017
In October 2007, JR went to the Kibera slum in Nairobi, Kenya to photograph and interview the women who became the first participants in the Women are Heroes project.

JR returned there in January 2009 and covered the whole train that travels through Kibera with the eyes of the women photographed, creating an anamorphosis with the bottom of the faces installed on the slope of the slum. After a few seconds of magic, the train continued on its way to Uganda and through the forest, where these eyes appeared again!
