SHFT + Annenberg: Carol Beckwith & Angela Fisher

Working partners for more than thirty years, Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher have traveled across 270,000 miles to some of the most remote places on the African continent in exploration of tribal cultures. Carol and Angela have been granted unprecedented access to African tribal rites and rituals and continue to be honored worldwide for their powerful photographs documenting the traditional ceremonies of cultures thousands of years old. The results of their work are gathered in fifteen widely acclaimed books and four films. “Through our books and lectures we tell people about Africa’s core values: respect for their elders, the benefit of growing up as part of a community, and the importance of living in harmony with nature and one’s own spirit world.”
