Bukkie Dos Santos is an award winning
freelance photographer and long time supporter of Kambani.
Her practice covers fashion, editorial, portrait and documentary
photography. Bukkie has had works published extensively across
Europe and Africa with a number of her works featured on the Kambani
website. As an artist she likes to lead the viewer through the maze
of her visual mind, giving the opportunity to form an individual
idea of the subject regardless of occasion or context.
She also believes that we are obligated to record events around us
that constitute everyday life, to tell the story of our times not
just for this generation but also for the next.
She has always been interested in culture and cultural diversity.
“Paying particular attention to our rituals as individuals and as
communities, I believe that man defines himself by ritual”. It is
this line of thinking that has strengthened her interest in
documentary photography, which is the area of photography that
features in most of her current work. Her work also features in
Kambani’s documentary “Voices of the Unheard”.
She has started to build bodies of work around the theme of cultural
diversity. In doing this she has come to realise the influences that
culture has had on her. This has prompted her to start researching
her roots and tracing her past, to recognise and understand the
'rituals' that have made her who she is. This research has taken her
back to Nigeria where she spent her teenage years.
This has also opened up a means for her to explore cultural
diversity around the world.
