Celebrated photographer Jabulani Dhlamini deals with trauma, memory, inheritance and time through his quiet but intense images. His new exhibition, Isisekelo, shows spaces that were once touched by apartheid, slavery, colonialism and displacement
Saturday: 9.30am to 4pm. Closed Sundays and public holidays
I started taking photographs in 1996. My work questions how far we’ve come. When I photographed the houses in Soweto I saw people build their houses on the top of old foundations and, in a way, they were trying to deal with the effects of apartheid. His striking image of young students relaxing on the plinth where Rhodes stood strikingly represents black youth trying to carve out a post-colonial identity.
Often we look at the event but we don’t look at the chaos afterwards. A lot of my images are not about what is being photographed, but what I am working on at the moment. “Three Réunion Island scholars came to tell us about the island’s history during my residency. The island had many slaves and slave masters. Its population is very intermingled – in one place you’ll find black, Indian and white people.
