  • A Public Poster Campaign Conceptualised by Jodi Bieber in Collaboration with 45 Young People from Johannesburg Designed by Brenton Maart Jodi Bieber
    # i A PUBLIC POSTER CAMPAIGN CONCEPTUALISED BY JODI BIEBER IN COLLABORATION WITH 45 YOUNG PEOPLE FROM JOHANNESBURG DESIGNED BY BRENTON MAART JODI BIEBER ARTIST STATEMENT # i focuses on the youth of Johannesburg, aged 15 to 23: a generation that did not grow up under apartheid, and who have the ability to access and communicate using technologies that integrate them within a larger global community. Having different historical experiences than those of their parents, they have their own visions and expectations of themselves and of South Africa. In this campaign, I collaborated over a period of two years, starting in 2016, with a wide range of 45 young people from Johannesburg – from different cultures, income groups and areas – to produce a portraiture project that expresses young people’s visions of themselves and their country. These visions are expressed in the words of the young people, their own photographs from their phones, and the portraits I photographed of each individual. I have taken on this project because I believe that young people can lead our future with new, fresh narratives. For example, the older generation’s lived experience is during apartheid in South Africa and – through extensive interviews with the young people on this project – the words echoed were for fresh new conversations, new ways of being, of living their lives and creating their own stories. With the forthcoming national election in 2019, this exhibition is a portrait of a generation that will play leading roles in a pivotal moment in South African history. The public poster exhibition of the work – where members of the public can take a poster away with them – creates a future life of the artwork.

This study focuses on the recurrence of visual tropes in press photographs awarded in the annual contest World Press Photo (WPP) in the years 2009–11. By tropes, we mean conventions (e.g. a mourning woman, a civilian facing soldiers, a distressed witness to an atrocity) that remain unchanged despite their travels across the visual sphere, gaining professional and public recognition and having a strong affective impact.

  • Portrait and Documentary Photography in Post-Apartheid South Africa: (Hi)Stories of Past and Present
    Portrait and documentary photography in post-apartheid South Africa: (hi)stories of past and present Paula Alexandra Horta Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD in Cultural Studies at the University of London Centre for Cultural Studies, Goldsmiths College Supervision: Dr. Jennifer Bajorek 2011 Declaration This thesis is the result of work carried out by me, and has been written by me. Where other sources of information have been used, they have been acknowledged. Signed: ……………………………………………………… Date: ………………………………………………………… 2 Abstract This thesis will explore how South African portrait and documentary photography produced between 1994 and 2004 has contributed to a wider understanding of the country‘s painful past and, for some, hopeful, for others, bleak present. In particular, it will examine two South African photographic works which are paradigmatic of the political and social changes that marked the first decade after the fall of apartheid, focusing on the empowerment of both photographers and subjects. The first, Jillian Edelstein‘s (2001) Truth & Lies: Stories from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa, captures the faces and records the stories of perpetrators and victims who gave their testimonies to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa from 1996 to 2000. The second, Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin‘s (2004a) Mr. Mkhize‟s Portrait & Other Stories from the New South Africa, documents the changed/ unchanged realities of a democratic country ten years after apartheid. The work of these photographers is showcased for its specificity, historicity and uniqueness. In both works the images are charged with emotion. Viewed on their own — uncaptioned — the photographs have the capacity to unsettle the viewer, but in both cases a compelling intermeshing of image and text heightens their resonance and enables further possibilities for interpretation.

Este artículo se centra en los premios Word Press Photo of the Year desde el año 1955 hasta el año 2015 como repertorio significativo para estudiar cómo el fotoperiodismo construye las diferen- cias de género respecto al sufrimiento humano. Para conseguir este objetivo, primero hablaremos de la importancia del premio en el contexto de la prensa internacional, definiendo los rasgos del fotope- riodismo en un mundo de imágenes globalizadas. Segundo, haremos una revisión de los trabajos más importantes realizados sobre estos premios, y, tercero, analizaremos de forma crítica la presencia de las mujeres en estas imágenes para determinar hasta qué punto el cuerpo de las mujeres sirve para repre- sentar la globalidad o la particularidad de los desastres y los traumas humanos.

  • Arts and Culture
    ARTS AND CULTURE 221 Pocket Guide to South Africa 2011/12 ARTS AND CULTURE South Africa’s arts and culture are as varied as one might expect from such a diverse nation. The blend of local cultures and diverse influences make for a melting pot of creativity that never disappoints. As custodians of South Africa’s diverse cultural, artistic and linguistic heritage, the Department of Arts and Culture aims to develop and preserve South African culture to ensure social cohesion and nation-building. Arts and culture summit A national consultative summit on the contribution of the arts, culture and heritage sector to the economy was held in April 2011 and took a number of far-reaching resolutions. The summit resolved to continue with the implementation of the National Liberation Heritage Route Project, which will tell the stories of the country’s liberation struggle. Another resolu- tion was that the departments of arts and culture and basic education should develop interventions in the education system to bring back arts education into schools. Through this initiative, government will deploy 3 000 full-time art facilitators in schools throughout the country. Legacy projects Monuments, museums, plaques, outdoor art, heritage trails and other symbolic representations create visible reminders of, and commemorate, the many aspects of South Africa’s past. Government has initiated several national legacy projects to establish commemorative symbols of South Africa’s history and celebrate its heritage. National coat of arms South Africa’s coat of arms was adopted in 2000. Symbolism Rising sun: a life-giving force Protea: beauty and the flowering of the nation Ears of wheat: fertility of the land Elephant tusks: wisdom, steadfastness and strength Knobkierie and spear: defence of peace Drum: love of culture The motto, !Ke e:/xarra//ke, written in the Khoisan language of the !Xam people, means “diverse people unite”.

This thesis is about the art of images of war, or, in other words, about photography, art, and war. The choice of those three key terms is strategic as they form a triangle of multiple relations with different meanings. Let us briefly consider the axes of the triangle. Photography-Art: Today, photography is considered an art form, but this has not always been the case. There is also art photography which is not the same as documentary photography and while “many viewers still bristle at the blurring of fact and fiction,” as art historian Lucy Soutter writes, constructed images can be a valid tool for documentary strategies within contemporary art and “offer new ways to think about the complex reality in which we live.”1 Art-War: In order to address the topic of war photography, the intersection of art and war is important to consider.
