What is it like to be a black female artist today, who is the modern African woman behind the colourful CAMO series and where does she get her inspiration? Thandiwe Muriu will explains the importance of African storytelling, the diversity of the patterns and colors she works with and how she advocates for female empowerment. We talk about self-perception, the struggles of being a female photographer in Kenya and how her family upbringing still inspires her in her daily work. How does Thandiwe mix the best of two worlds, her Kenyan rooted heritage and the opportunities modern Africa has to offer?
Thandiwe Muriu is a self-taught photographer born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya. Pursing photography from an early age, she is passionate about helping brands communicate through photography so they can get their message across in ways that will not only keep their audiences engaged but, also help them get the desired response.
Over the years, she has developed a particular interest in showcasing Africa’s unique mix of vibrant cultures, colour and people. Through her personal work she celebrates her African heritage and tackles important issues such as identity and self-perception using the rich colours and vibrancy the continent is so well know for. Thandiwe’s signature style is colourful, clean and bold.
She currently resides in Nairobi, Kenya where she teaches workshops and regularly travels for assignments.
