| Description: |
In 2002 we launched 'Umqomboti, utywala & lucky stars: stories of liquor in Langa between 1930 and 1980'. This audio visual exhibition was the outcome of that year's post graduate intern training programme. 40 audio interviews with Langa residents involved with the underground liquor trade, were used as a base to explore the histories of people living under apartheid. The exhibition opened in Langa in October 2002 and has travelled to a range of venues since its opening such as the Nelson Mandela Gateway, CT. Worcester Kleinplaasie Museum, Paarl Museum and IASA, Pretoria conference. |
