Her passion for textiles and handmade products grew while watching her family design prints as a girl. Mariama’s great grand-mother was among the most successful female tie dyers in the region of Guinea.
Mariama became the first Guinean to showcase the efforts of female tie-dyers from her roots to the international market, through her non-profit organization There Is No Limit Foundation.
Justice Mukheli on the other hand is a Johannesburg, South Africa- based self-taught photographer and film maker widely known for creating “intellectually and emotionally dense work.”
