Women of Colour in Conservation: A Photo Essay by Bongeka Makabeni

Friday, 17th November 2023

We were very happy to be approached and work with Bongeka Makabeni this year. Bongeka is a Bachelor of Visual Art Honors in Photography Student at NMU and is enrolling for Masters in 2024.

Bongeka did her practical output on: Underrepresented Voice - Women of Colour in Conservation, a photo narative.

Bongeka joined a few cruises and spent time with Purity. Getting to know Purity and finding the best way to portray Purity, taking many photographs of Purity in her much loved role as a Marine Guide, Videographer, Trainee Skipper and so much more.

We love what Bongeka put together and thought to share it will all.

Thank you Bongeka and we wish you well for 2024.
