Until the 28th February 2009 Rivington Place exhibits Santu Mofokeng’s pictures. Considered one of the Africa’s most important photographers of his generation, Mofokeng investigates places of public memory and spirituality.
He travelled to British concentration camp sites in South Africa, to Namibia, to Ravensbruck, Aushwitz, Nagasaki, Hanoi, showing how the memory is or not still alive. One of the major events linked to the exhibition will be Thursday 5th February. From 5 pm Lati Ri will be serving up South African music, food and drink and at 7 pm will be screening Tsotsi, the first South African Academy Award winning film.
