After six months of classes we have successfully graduated our first Kuyasa Level 1 photography class. The class was an initiative started by professional photographers Christine Meintjies and Lauren Kriedemann with the inspiration of The Viewfinder Project. Intern Ncumisa Siko, fresh off her time at the Media Village, was critical to the success of the project.
The students exhibited their work this past week, and the response was overwhelming. Many visitors that had never experienced Kuyasa came to participate in the day’s events. The demand was such that we actually began selling the photographs on behalf of the students, and it looks like a donor has stepped forward to create a book of their showcased photos. The theme for the exhibition was “Life In Kayamandi”.
