Margaret Courtney-Clarke is a multi-award winning Namibian photographer. The exhibition at the Francisco Carolinum presents works from over 40 years of work and shows what the artist first brought into the public eye: South, West and North African indigenous women in their domestic environment.
Another focus of the artist is on the dark history of those people who historically lived in the Namib and Kalahari deserts. The long-term relationships and friendships she has built over the years not only grant her access to intimate portraits of embattled but resilient peoples, but also speak in detail to the big social justice issues of our time - persistent droughts, climate change, environmental degradation and the impact of the extractive industry in a resource-rich but water-scarce country. |

Courtney-Clarke's acclaimed project Caged reflects the constraints of socio-economic and political forces by documenting fences, pens and cages that limit, protect and demarcate Namibia's individuals and places in various ways. Her ongoing quest to advocate for the neglected and overlooked is pragmatic in vision to highlight injustices, but poetic in formulation. Margaret Courtney-Clarke reveals her ingenuity and resilience, drawing attention to the ordinary in extraordinary circumstances.
Curator: Virginia MacKenny, Emeritus Associate Professor of Fine Arts, University of Cape Town, South Africa. |
