A Life Less Ordinary

Nowhere more so than in South Africa has the idea, politics and policies of difference been more tragically exercised. Nearly 15 years after the first democratic elections (and the creation of the world's most inclusive constitution) daily life there is still, perhaps surprisingly, shaped by race-based dynamics and explanations, albeit differently transposed.

Life Less Ordinary brings together works of photography, performance, film and installation by a younger generation wishing to shake loose from the epic narrative of race to play with, stage, transcend, celebrate and deconstruct more complex and nuanced subjectivities.
