    BACK O' THE MOON, at the Journey to Jazz Festival

    BACK O' THE MOON

    at the Journey to Jazz Festival

     

    Back O' the Moon is a photographic exhibition that draws its title from the legendary Sophiatown shebeen where South African jazz greats—such as Dolly Rathebe—mingled with pioneering photographers like Bob Gosani. This project seeks to foreground the powerful synergy between musicians and photographers during a defining period in South Africa’s cultural and political history, presenting a compelling visual narrative of resistance, dignity, and creativity under apartheid.
