alumn lele bonizzi in usu magazine
Jan 03, 2025Recent BFA alumn Lele Bonizzi is featured in the Winter 2025 issue of Utah State Magazine.
As a 2024 Peak Fellow at USU, Bonizzi traveled to Porto Seguro, Brazil, to document the work of Mães Unidas, a non-governmental organization. Led by and composed exclusively of women, the organization supports single mothers by offering free training in sewing, providing an avenue for self-sustenance through the sale of crafted garments and upcycled clothing. They also offer free food and financial support to mothers who cannot participate in the training.
For their work in Brazil, Bonizzi was awarded the College Photographer of the Year Award of Excellence in the International Picture Story category. Earlier in the year Bonizzi’s BFA thesis work on the LGBTQ+ community in Logan was recognized with $10,000 scholarship from WeTransfer’s Supporting Act Foundation Champions of Change.
