This October, fine art photographer Mikhailia Petersen and emerging videographer Ben Mall, in partnership with PICHULIK, will launch the much-anticipated exhibition, ‘Women of the Water’ – a reflection of South African women’s ecological, spiritual custodianship of the ocean and its shoreline as an act of collective care.

Join the team for the launch event on Thursday, 24 October at the PICHULIK Atelier, or pop into the store over the weekend to view the photographic artworks.
