'The Unsung Ones'

The participants in this project emphasise the historical value of our elders, these are real people who witnessed and experienced the transition of an entire society towards the birth of a new nation. These are people who have defined what it means to be a South African today and yet their strength has never been celebrated.

The aim of this project is to celebrate the undying spirit of resilience of the youth of the 70’s and prior, the truly unsung heroines and heroes of our land. Offering an opportunity to build empathy, understanding and as a means to hold space for and honor their stories and experiences. Capturing the essence of timeless beauty and the strength that carried us through the dark days and continue to carry us to this day, looking at how they define themselves 50 years later.
