This Home of Ours
“This Home of Ours” acts as a contemporary time capsule of the Bo-Kaap neighbourhood’s rich history within Cape Town, South Africa. At a time when both an influx of foreign residents and the Covid-19 pandemic are endangering the livelihood of many residents, this series seeks to provide a platform of visibility that amplifies the voices of residents and chronicles their experiences for generations to come. Through intimate portraits and depictions of the varied landscape, this work showcases how the Bo-Kaap culture has evolved at the intersection of race, religion, and identity.
