In 2018, when Alice Mann was just 27, she became the first person to win the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize with a series of photographs instead of a single image. Drummies at David Hill Gallery features 19 images, many of which are previously unprinted, with some entirely unseen. Alice spent four years photographing drum majorettes in Western Cape and Gauteng schools, her images capture the strength, confidence, and pride of the girls, all crucial character components in communities where opportunities for young women are far too slim. Alice explains, ‘Drummies is part of my ongoing work exploring notions of femininity and empowerment in modern society.’
