Julie Bonzon, The Market Photo Workshop in South Africa and the 'Born Free' Generation: Remaking Histories

Julie Bonzon, The Market Photo Workshop in South Africa and the 'Born Free' Generation: Remaking Histories (New York: Routledge, 2024), 197pp., ISBN: 9781032411439 Founded in 1989 by the legendary David Goldblatt (1930-2018), the Market Photo Workshop, as Julie Bonzon writes in this careful exploration of the school's history and influence, 'stood in opposition to apartheid's segregation policies and was designed from its inception as a non-racial pedagogic and cultural institution'.1 And in the years since it opened its doors, the MPW has played an important role in the history of South African photography, perhaps even eclipsing Fine Arts departments at historically white universities in influence.
