DocuFest Africa Exhibition

Covering the period from the 1950s to the 1980s DocuFest Africa: The Exhibition showcases at times rare and unusual images of life in South Africa taken by leading photographers at the height of apartheid. Curated by Reney Warrington, the Exhibition has been drawn from the collections represented by Africa Media Online. It covers a broad cross-section of society at the time, from the woman’s movement and boys on the border to protest action, the trade union movement and the development of Johannesburg. The collection of images is at one time unfamiliar – speaking to us from a different time, a different political reality – and familiar, with so many of the challenges faced then being still with us in 2018.
