THE SIDI PROJECT - In 2012 Luke founded The Sidi Project (www.thesidiproject.com), which is a long term photographic and development project that looks to document the lives and culture of the African Diaspora that live on the peripheries of the Indian Ocean, in particular South Asia. The project focuses on today's descendants, who's distant relatives were brought eastwards from Africa hundreds of years ago as part of a little known Eastern slave-trade route that involved Arab and colonial powers including the Portuguese, French, Dutch and British to further strengthen their colonial ambitions.
