I'm Duncan Moore, a visual journalist based between Spain and Kenya. Currently producing visual and written content for organizations and publications such as the UN, Al Jazeera, The Guardian, BBC, Great Big Story, Deutsche Welle, Bloomberg and more. Some highlights from my work include tracking locust swarms in Northern Kenya, documenting traditional Luhya bull fighting, searching for vintage taxis in Ethiopia and photographing illegal gold-miners in Kakamega. In my free time I like to play rugby, start conversations with strangers and eat copious amounts of street food. Work samples available at: https://duncanmooremedia.com

Meet Harrison Mumia, the president of Atheists in Kenya Society. He hopes to create a platform for non-religious people in a country where a majority of the population has a religious upbringing. “Let people believe what they want to believe, let your personal opinion be yours,” says Mumia. But his drive to build an atheist community hasn't been easy as non-believers in the country face prejudice, fear and discrimination. While they hold the government to account on issues of morality, and support gay rights, the main objective is simple: Promote the acceptance of atheists in Kenya. "We want Kenyans to accept that we are part of them. And we are normal," he says.

On the Kenyan coast, the Watamu Marine Association has developed a business model that keeps beaches clean, bringing together local communities and the tourism industry to collect, repurpose and recycle plastic waste. This small-scale circular economy has big potential and can be replicated anywhere in the world there is a coastal tourism industry, restoring coastlines and addressing the global issue of marine litter.

Arriving in Ethiopia, on thing that stands out are the taxis, many of them sky blue, mid-century Peugeot 404 and 504s. Due in part to high tariffs, limits on auto imports and the reliability of the car, some of these vehicles are still working full time almost 60 years after they were built. But a scarcity of parts and a reformist new president means that these vintage autos may have finally reached the end of the road.
Bullfighting normally brings to mind Spanish toreros and red capes. But in Western Kenya a tradition amongst the Luhya tribe turns that idea on its head. Massive bulls fight each other while onlookers encircle the competitors and cheer their favourite, just a meter or two from the animals. No arena, no deaths. Arguably more humane towards the animals and much more dangerous for the spectators.

Inline skating, commonly known as rollerblading, peaked in popularity in the West over 20 years ago. Many of those old skates have been shipped overseas to Africa, part of the used clothing or mitumba industry. In Nairobi skating has become wildly popular among the youth, feeling an edgy and at times reckless skating culture.
