Apartheid vs. Music

Project awarded and featured in the Lucie Foundation IPA 2018 and also shortlisted in the Athens Photo Festival of the same year. The Apartheid regime in South Africa officially ended in 1991, but in the Western Cape Province, where I live for three months or more a year, I still see many vestiges of the past. went to look for the roots and branches of this residual apartheid in schools, churches and musical events. In 2016, I of the group "The Soil" in the CT KG. In that beautiful garden, at the feet of Table Mountain, thousands of people of all colors of both skin and clothes, enjoyed the overwhelming music of the trio. It was evident that music had the power, as I expected, to unite people that birth and life had divided. Since then, I went to attend more than ten concerts. There are artists who attract only white spectators, or almost only black, for reasons that mix musical and political tastes. But if the musical tastes coincide, white, black and coloured people go to the same event : they stay mostly in separate groups, but some of them intermingle and even dance together
