PHOTOVOICE: ‘Un/Settled’

Un/Settled is a multimedia documentary project that explores white South Africans’ histories, privileges and reflections on identity. The project is a collaboration between photographer Sydelle Willow Smith and writer Olivia Walton. Sydelle is the concept developer and lead artistic director of the project.

Sydelle recently talked to MA student Esther V. Kraler about the impact of histories of exploitation on people’s sense of belonging, the importance of addressing probing questions and creating dialogue amongst South Africans regarding white privilege in a post-Apartheid, post-rainbow nation, post-TRC South Africa.

Check out the interview below:
