Working the City is a culmination of a participatory photography project which worked with migrant women involved in sex work in the inner city of Johannesburg. The project, which ran for ten days in 2010, worked in collaboration with ongoing research that is being undertaken with women involved in sex-work in inner-city Johannesburg. It is hoped that the images selected with the participants and displayed, and the accompanying narratives, will contribute to an increasing body of knowledge relating to the experiences of migrant women involved in sex work and how they (re)present themselves, perceive and experience the city.

Surface
Opens 8 December at The Photo Workshop Gallery
Curated by Lester Adams
How does photojournalism become new when day after day we see the same content?
This exhibition aims to look at the construct of surface, or rather, offers the idea of surface as a tool to interrogate the current question facing photojournalism, documentary photography and the media at large.
The word ‘fixate’ is an obsessive focus, attachment and fastening to a person or image. A NMMU fashion exhibition opening at the upper gallery of Epsac Community Art next week (3-15 December 2010), shatters an initial view of fashion as superficial and on the surface. “The notion of humanness demands or expects something more.” suggests exhibition curator Maran Coates, “Fashion often attempts to be beyond real. The mixture of fashion in fabric form, in photography and film in this exhibition allows the viewer to return to human sensibility or real human encounter.”
