Description
"An exhibition to mark the forty year anniversary of June 16 student uprisings, at Centre for African Studies (CAS) Gallery, UCT. The 1976 movement is deeply etched in most South African minds. 1976/360 intersects with the iconic imagery of the time by photographers like Sam Nzima and Peter Magubane, as well as lesser known archives, in particular from the Independent Archive in Cape Town and Special Collections, UCT Libraries.
Besides photographs there will also be installations that will reflect a range of voices from a UCT perspective as well as those engaged in national dialogue about reconciliation and healing. The exhibition will showcase a selected collection of artowrk from the UCT Works of Art Collection that directly speks to this iconic moment. The exhibition will be opened by former Soweto student activist, Murphy Morobe and will launch veteran photographer, Peter Magubane's most recent book, June 16 Soweto."
