Uzizwa Uphephile? (do you feel safe?)

Every conversation about the CBD is secretly a conversation about safety. It’s the first thing people ask when you say you’re doing something in town. It’s why buildings emptied. It’s also why people are kept out.So, ahead of Women’s Month, we’re asking the question instead of answering it.Silindokuhle Shandu works in photography, painting and collage; layering family archives and street imagery so personal memory sits inside the inner city’s bigger story.In conversation with Boitumelo Makousu, whose practice is committed to public culture; building platforms for dialogue and critical exchange across African cultural ecosystems.Curated & moderated by Penina Chalumbira.The photographs will be on show throughout the weekend, and Bridge Books will run their Silent Reading Club at 2pm. You’re welcome to enquire at the counter.
