Cruzando líneas

“Cruzando líneas” was an exhibition of the work of British photographer John Theodore Goldblatt (1930-2008), who spent a number of years in South Africa, during the Apartheid era. The exhibition provided a tribute to this artist who had the courage to go into the townships and portray the poverty and misery in which the majority African population was forced to live and he did so under the constant threat of arrest. His photography offers us a valuable historical insight into a country whose identity was based on the politics of hate and racism.
