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.
