Thandiwe Muriu: Pioneering Photographer [Encore]

Around the world photography is a male-dominated industry and in Kenya that’s an understatement. Thandiwe Muriu is the country’s first woman commercial photographer and in recent years the first to find her voice as a photographic artist. In this episode Evan and Josh sit with the Nairobi-based creative to hear how she learned the craft, found her artistic self and is unfolding and reinterpreting the visual language of Kenya for a global audience. Her energy, optimism and enthusiasm are immense and you can feel the love, power and creativity from the opening moments all the way through the conversation. thandiwemuriu.com instagram.com/thandiwe_muriu Photograph courtesy of Thandiwe Muriu / Institute Discover more shows from SURROUND at surroundpodcasts.com.
