Beyond the Barricades: Popular Resistance in South Africa in the 1980s

This exhibition (Editors, Omar Badsha, Gideon Mendel and Paul Weinberg) is an important collection of photographs by twenty South African photographers, mainly from the photographic collective, Afrapix. Both, the exhibition and subsequent book, have become an indispensable anthology of popular resistance in South Africa during the 1980’s. The collection highlights one of the longest and bloodiest periods of political resistance to apartheid, a time of mass mobilization and brutal repression when taking of images was often a matter of life and death.

The exhibition was a collaborative project between Afrapix and Critical Health, sponsored by MEDICO and printed by Graham Goddard.

The exhibition of Afrapix South African photography on Apartheid, entitled "Nichts wird uns trennen (Nothing will separate us)", opened on the 21 March 1984 in Frankfurt, Germany. It was organized by Tim Besserer and Dieter Koeve, and was shown in 23 cities across Europe for 5 years.
