Rise and Fall of Apartheid Photography and the Bureaucracy of Everyday Life Exhibition 13.02.2014 – 30.04.2015 Museum Africa, Newtown, Johannesburg Photography and the Bureaucracy of Everyday Life at Museum Africa in Johannesburg. Coinciding with the 20th anniversary of democracy in South Africa, this award-winning exhibition, organized by the International Center of Photography, and curated by Okwui Enwezor with Rory Bester, offers an unprecedented and comprehensive historical overview of the pictorial response to apartheid that has never been undertaken by any other museum. Encompassing more than 800 photographs, artworks, films, videos, documents, posters, and periodicals, the exhibition brings together a rich tapestry of material – much of which has rarely been shown together.
