“My body of work is like a tree. The roots are based in my research, the trunk is the core concept from which every branch grows. Being born in South African apartheid as a person of color, racial classifications were forced upon us. The trunk is where I take back agency. I am moving forward with this history and creating images that represent my family’s identity. The branches are the many ways in which we live our identity. Our curly African hair, Dutch clogs, overalls, and durags are the manifestation of our identity sitting in front of the camera.

These notions that you have one nationality, one identity, one place to call home, are not our reality. We are seen as not black or white enough, but we come from both. We live in a gray space and work with all the different tones that symbolize our mixed identity. This is where the magic happens.

Photography is an essential part of finding ways to visualize my sense of belonging. My research sometimes takes me to dark places, where pain, injustice, and rage reside. Dealing with feelings, healing from them, or confronting them alone and in community happens through photography. Creating a soft landing.”

Gen Z, one generation, countless perspectives: the exhibition presents works by over 40 photographers from 25 countries born between the 1990s and 2010. Their works reflect experiences shaped by digital worlds, social change and global crises. Across four thematic sections, the exhibition offers insights into the realities, concerns and aspirations of young people. Themes such as identity, belonging, the body and gender are explored creatively, questioned and reimagined through new forms of self-understanding.
