One of the main reasons I created WAT is to disrupt the current travel narrative. Director Ava DuVernay put it perfectly during her latest interview with TIME for TIME Firsts: “If the person who gets to tell the story is always one kind of person, if the dominant images that we see throughout our lifetimes, our mothers’ lifetimes, our grandmothers’ lifetimes, have been dominated by one kind of person, and we take that? We internalize it. We drink it in, as true, as fact."

Buhlebezwe Siwani isn’t only an internationally recognized artist from South Africa; she’s also a practicing “sangoma.” These are traditional healers and diviners who are seen as bridges between the living and their ancestors. 

How does this play into her work? Check out our episode on her: http://bit.ly/WATxBuhlebezweSiwani.
