  • AFRAPIX SOCIAL DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY in 1980S SOUTH AFRICA
    Fall 08 AFRAPIX SOCIAL DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY IN 1980s SOUTH AFRICA Amy McConaghy Acknowledgments I would like to thank Paul Weinberg, Eric Miller, Don Edkins, Graham Goddard, Zubeida Vallie and Omar Badsha for taking the time to be interviewed and for all being so incredibly obliging, kind and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting all of you and listening to your incredible stories. I would also like to express my gratitude to my supervisor, Sean Field, for his excellent guidance, support and patience throughout this thesis. i Abstract This thesis examines the development of the Afrapix collective agency throughout the 1980s. It argues that despite often being confined within the context of ‘struggle photography,’ Afrapix produced a broad body of social documentary work that far exceeded the struggle. However, within the socio-political milieu photographers were working, there was limited space for a more nuanced and complex representation of South Africa. Resisting this narrow visual format, Afrapix photographers in the 1980s faced the challenge of documenting the struggle and an extended repertoire of social issues whilst expressing a nuanced and complex point of view that countered the predominant narrative.

He attended school and university in Pietermaritzburg, graduating from the then University of Natal with a BA.LLB in 1972. At University, he met one of the founders of Afrapix, Paul Weinberg, who was also studying law. In 1975 he joined a commercial studio in Pietermaritzburg, Eric’s Studio, as an apprentice photographer. In 1977 he joined The Natal Witness as a photographer/reporter, and in 1979 moved to the Rand Daily Mail as a photographer. In 1979, Alfers was offered a position as Photographer/Fieldworker at the National University of Lesotho on a research project, Analysis of Rock Art in Lesotho (ARAL) which made it possible for him to evade further military service. The ARAL Project ran for four years during which time Alfers developed a photographic recording system which resulted in a uniform collection of 35,000 Kodachrome slides of rock paintings, as well as 3,500 pages of detailed site reports and maps.

Organized for the International Center of Photography (ICP) by Okwui Enwezor, one of the world’s foremost curators of contemporary art, the exhibition will present over 200 works by 35 artists from a dozen countries. Encompassing the African continent from the Muslim cultures of North Africa to the sub-Saharan nations of the south, Snap Judgments will feature a range of highly individual artistic responses to the enormous changes now taking place in economic, social, and cultural life throughout Africa. The exhibition will be on view at ICP (1133 Avenue of the Americas at 43rd Street), its only venue, from March 10 through May 28, 2006. African photography has changed dramatically since 1996, when Mr. Enwezor organized In/Sight: African Photographers 1940 to the Present for the Guggenheim Museum. In that groundbreaking show, the studio portraiture of such now-acclaimed figures as Seidou Keïta, Malick Sidibé, and Samuel Fosso predominated. Today photography has come to play an expanded role within the spectrum of contemporary African art. Reflecting the increasingly close relation of photography with other forms of experimental art in Africa,Snap Judgments will include not only photographic works but also multimedia installations and documentation of performance art.

  • Avenue Patrice Lumumba: Guy Tillim Free
    FREE AVENUE PATRICE LUMUMBA: GUY TILLIM PDF Guy Tillim | 128 pages | 01 Jan 2009 | PRESTEL | 9783791340661 | English | Munich, Germany 5B4: Avenue Patrice Lumumba by Guy Tillim Patrice Lumumba was one of the first elected African leaders in Avenue Patrice Lumumba: Guy Tillim times. In he became the first prime minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo after his country won independence from Belgium. He was imprisoned and murdered in circumstances suggesting the complicity of the governments of Belgium and the United States. Lumumba became revered as a liberator of independent Africa, and streets that bear his name in western and southern Africa have come to represent both the idealism and decay of an African dream. Originally a photojournalist, Guy Tillim has spent a large part of his career documenting social conflict in Africa for media agencies including Reuters and Agence France-Presse. Yet Tillim seeks not only the action and drama typical of a journalistic approach, but also quieter scenes, allowing his work to straddle the media and fine art worlds. His pictures portray the crumbling institutional buildings—post offices, schools, hotels, and offices—that were built by colonial governments in Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Madagascar, and Mozambique. It was this strange contemporary mythological time. These buildings are impressive, for all their inappropriateness they nonetheless form part of a contemporary African stage. Chipping paint, worn Avenue Patrice Lumumba: Guy Tillim, toppled statues, and makeshift repairs tell stories of modernist spaces that have been neglected. In his own words:. These photographs are not collapsed histories of post-colonial African states or a meditation on aspects of late-modernist-era colonial structures, but a walk through avenues of dreams.
