Boniface Mwangi
Boniface Mwangi is recognized globally for his passion and excellence in photography, this photographer-activist could not resist the call to activism after witnessing, first-hand, the brutality that disadvantaged Kenyans experienced in the wake of the post-election violence of 2008.
He then established Picha Mtaani, a traveling photography exhibition showcasing images of the violence. The travelling photo exhibition toured across Kenya and drew more than 2 million visitors. The exhibition tour offered a platform for individual reflection, honest dialogue, interpersonal healing and community reconciliation.
He has twice won the CNN Multichoice Africa Photojournalist of the Year Award and is the youngest Prince Claus Laureate. He is a senior TED Fellow, and Time magazine recognized him as a Next Generation Leader in 2015.
