South Africa Witnessed: Photographs by David Goldblatt
May 04, 2010 - September 26, 2010
David Goldblatt, one of South Africa’s most highly regarded photographers, was witness to apartheid’s infiltration into every aspect of South African life. His photos do not look at the large events or the public face of violence; rather they focus on the world of ordinary people and the minutiae of everyday life, illuminating the depth of injustice and the character of the people who impose it and who struggle against it.
