The Photography Exhibition – “Peregrinate” features the work
of three photographers: Thabiso Sekgala, Musa Nxumalo (South Africans) and Mimi Cherono Ng’ok (Kenyan). The exhibition explores the concept of photography as a common method of investigation, discovery and representation – an act of wandering undertaken by the photographer as traveler and explorer.

Traversing Soweto streets, backyards in Nairobi, dusty Jordanian alleys, Peregrinate invites viewers to consider the intimate politics of home and belonging, as well as the possibilities inherent in dislocation, or a lack of anchoring, and the routes one takes to find a way. Sub-titled ‘field notes on time travel and space’, the exhibition examines notions of spatial politics, the economics of time and travel, and the kinds of access granted to travelers.

The travels of three different wanderers are juxtaposed as temporal sculptures to chronicle the personal experience of journeying within the home, neighbourhood and country, as well as the act of departing for distant places.

Jointly curated by the featured photographers, this exhibition is the final stage for the three participants as part of the Goethe-Institute portfolio workshop, the Photographers Master Class.
This exhibition is in partnership with Goethe Institute, Lagos
