The exhibition Ubusukunemini (Day and Night), part of the PhotoSaint Germain festival and curated by Valérie Fougeirol, brings the work of Tshepiso Mazibuko and Sibusiso Bheka into conversation, with regard to current events in South Africa. These two photographers, beneficiaries of the Of Soul and Joy programme since 2012, belong to the so-called “born free” generation, a term designating the black youth born after the first non-racial democratic elections in 1994, who thus never experienced apartheid. The exhibition showcases an intimate portrait of the township, exploring its community via its present, its history and its memory. The two photographers, intertwining their sensibilities, take the pulse of the nascent South African democracy, deeply questioning the very meaning of “born free”.
