Biography Pamela Tulizo was born in 1994. She was raised in Goma, in the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo. She is a journalist by training and a 2019 graduate of the Market Photo Workshop in Johannesburg. She was trained by the artist Martin Lukongo, and lives and works in Goma.
Career Tulizio began her career as a journalist before turning to photography as an artistic pursuit. 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. 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.
