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.
