This picture makes me cry. This old lady goes to church with my mom. She told us last night that she was arrested at Con Hill during apartheid times. Last night, women like her were being honored at a place that tried to take their dignity away. None of us could have planned this, we can only say thank you to the powers that be. Camagu. ♥️ #manyanoexhibition Ph. @bongani_mndaweni

Passed by Conhill to check out @montshotheblack ‘s solo exhibition titled ” #Manyano “, inspired by the Womem of Manyano Methodist Church. Such an amazing body of work. This is my favorite piece in particular, titled ” Mmele, pelo le moya” Oil on canvass.
