KRISP has partnered with a great photographer (Samora Chapman) to highlight the human and biodiversity life in South Africa. The photographic exhibition was curated by Tulio de Oliveira and highlight many of the genomics aspects that make us so similar and interesting at genotypic and phenotypic level.

The launch of the exhibition was very successful, with over 200 people attending. People engage with the scientific facts that were displayed by the art pieces. Below a short video of the launch.

The launch of the exhibition at the Community Gallery in Durban, 24 Oct 23019.
