Opis

As the struggle against apartheid gained momentum in the seventies and eighties, women photographers recorded the drama unfolding across the land. More recently, women have begun exploring a different aesthetic and developing a wide range of photographic practices in the worlds of fashion, journalism, documentary, and advertising. Seventy-five photographers and almost 400 images are included. Robin Comley has worked as a journalist and editor and is photographic editor of A Century of Sundays, a retrospective on 100 years of the Sunday Times newspaper. George Hallett is a Cape Town-based photographer who has exhibited internationally. In 1995, he won a Golden Eye in the World Press Photo Award for his essay on President Mandela during the 1994 election campaign. Neo Ntsoma has won many prestigious awards including the CNN African Journalist Award (Photography), of which she was the first woman recipient. Her work has been published in international publications and her photo-project, South African Youth ID--Kwaito Culture' appeared in Moving in Time, an anthology of work from fifty South African photographers in celebration of ten years of democracy.
