"This is where it all began, by taking a chance with our art & being open enough to engage with the public. Asking them... "WHAT DOES IT MEAN?" The answer was a beautiful documentary where the audience shared their insight on my 2015 body of work titled "Migrant". #photographyeducation #photography #phumzilekhanyile #nkosinathikhumalo #filmphotography #filmmakers #photographersofinstagram #documentary #photographydocumentary #art #finerat #photographyexhibition
