Jabulani Dhlamini & Thembinkosi Hlatshwayo: iHubo: Nkosi Sikelela
Goodman Gallery presents iHubo: Nkosi Sikelela, an exhibition of new work by Jabulani Dhlamini and Thembinkosi Hlatshwayo whose photographic practices converge on themes relating to collective trauma and generational memory in South Africa.
Dhlamini is one of South Africa’s most recognised documentary photographers. His approach to landscape and portrait photography involves capturing the everyday lives of people on society’s margins. Dhlamini, ten years Hlatshwayo’s senior, has mentored the young photographer for seven years, alongside curator John Fleetwood.
In Hlatshwayo’s developing practice, he uses his family-run tavern in Lawley, Johannesburg as a makeshift studio space in which to set up his images to explore first-hand and generational experiences of trauma.
