Remaking Histories
This study presents the history of the Market Photo Workshop (MPW) in Johannesburg and works produced by its new generation of photography students.
Founded in 1989 by internationally renowned documentary photographer David Goldblatt, the MPW has reflected upon South African political struggles and sociocultural changes since its creation. Its foundation parallels a moment in time when photography was considered a ?truth telling? genre and an essential source of documents deployed against the apartheid regime. This book reflects on the evolution of the MPW in the post-apartheid era and explores how its new generation of students engages the photographic tradition of this institution and the revolutionary times that accompanied its creation to question their present moment.
The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual studies, photography, African studies, cultural studies and post-colonial studies.
