Ntethelelo Images and Self Photography Project

The Ntethelelo Foundation in collaboration with the Market Photo Workshop conducted a 6-month photography outreach-training programme with young Womyn in an informal settlement of Sitjwetla just outside Alexandra Township. These young Womyn come from a neglected community with puts them in vulnerable situations daily. This training programme is aimed at helping them build resilience through photography and theatre of the oppressed techniques including other art mediums. The photography element is designed to enhance their critical thinking and reading skills, thus afford them these critical skills to best present their lived experiences and hopes through visual narratives. The exhibition in June 2019 in Alexandra Township was the second edition showcasing the outcomes of the Ntethelelo Images and Self Photography Project. The first exhibition opening took place at the Constitution Hill Human Rights Festival on in March 2019.
