By the people, for the people

Weltevreden is a perfect example of a project created by the community and for the community. The photo comic series tackles issues relevant to farming communities in the Western Cape… and the stars of each story are the farm workers themselves. From animal anti-cruelty to skills development, the community members play out scenarios from their daily lives and the lives of their readers. Once a month, the Strika team (Abi Maynard and David Stein) travels to the beautiful Wellington region to shoot the next chapter in the Weltevreden story. Here, photographer/designer Abi shoots a scene for the latest issue, a story about Foetal Alcohol Syndrome.
