"The photographs selected by the American publishers for the first edition [of Ernest Cole’s House of Bondage (1967)] are photojournalism, a documentation of the oppression that was happening in South Africa. That was a valid outlook on the country at the time, but what has been lost is the culture that developed."
– Matthew Blackman
At the conclusion of the inaugural A4 Library Residency, Matthew Blackman, Khanya Mashabela, and Daniel Malan discuss South African jazz, art, and photojournalism in the 1950s and ‘60s.
