Distinctive Perspectives

Distinctive Perspectives

On Common Ground at Goodman Gallery, Johannesburg, positions work by two of South Africa’s most renowned photographers side-by-side.

Offering dialogues between the contributions of David Goldblatt (1930-2018) and Peter Magubane (b. 1932), the show reveals images of life in apartheid South Africa through two distinct – yet equally poignant – approaches.

Until 18 August. Find out more here.
