Description

Congo Tales: Told by the People of Mbomo presents a visual exploration rooted in the storytelling traditions of the Mbomo community. The photographic approach captures both the people and their environment, emphasizing the intimate relationship between narrative, culture, and place in the Congo Basin.

Pieter Henket’s images convey a sense of ritual and myth, portraying subjects in natural settings that highlight the intertwined presence of humans and wildlife. The mood is contemplative, revealing stories passed down through generations as told by the communities themselves.
