Biography

Pamela Tulizo was born in 1994. She was raised in Goma, in the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo.[2] She is a journalist by training and a 2019 graduate of the Market Photo Workshop in Johannesburg.[3] She was trained by the artist Martin Lukongo, and lives and works in Goma.[4]

Career

Tulizio began her career as a journalist before turning to photography as an artistic pursuit.[4] Her subject matter raises awareness of Congolese women, their inner strength and resilience, despite the political, ecological, and economic instability of her region in Eastern Congo.[5] Often seen as victims, particularly of sexual violence, the women from Goma she portrays in her photographs are clearly powerful individuals in the fight for social justice.[3]
