This is a catalogue of work submitted by 58 photographers to the Bonani Africa 2010 Festival of Photography. The exhibition was held at the Cape Town Castle of Good Hope from 18th August to 30th September.
This collection of photographic essays captures another important, and in many ways unique, aspect of contemporary South African photography - the power of a highly contested, yet fundamentally cumulative, tradition of photographic practice from the 1950s to the present. Presently, four distinct generations of photographers continue to produce work, exhibit, publish, and significantly influence one another.
Reciprocity and engagement, rather than journalistic or aesthetic compulsion, animates some of the most compelling photographic storytelling in the Bonani Africa Exhibition.
