Text by french novelist Nina Bouraoui :
" I'm scared of Animals but I need them. They are flesh and blood. My strenght and hope. I build weapons to fight them and to nourish myself.

From 2019-05-18 to 2019-10-13
25 years after Nelson Mandela was elected president, Van Denderen and Tlali present a critical sequel to the highly-praised photo book Welkom in Suid-Afrika (1991) in which van Denderen chronicled apartheid's final days in the gold mining town of Welkom. Welkom Today combines old and new photos by Van Denderen and Tlali with photos taken by students, family albums, newspaper archives and stories by writer Margalith Kleijwegt. The exhibition is part of a multi-part photography project, produced by Paradox, the platform for documentary projects.

From 2019-07-01 to 2019-09-22
This exhibition brings together the work of four photographers from La Movida, one of the most remarkable and spontaneous movements to arise out of contemporary culture in Spain. It took place in Madrid, mainly, at the beginning of the 1980s.
After several decades of dictatorship and ostracism, Spain's transition involved a new generation fascinated by modernity and new ideas, which arrived via artists in diverse domains: music, fashion, cinema, painting, and photography.
La Movida was a highly publicized phenomenon from the beginning, one that established a myth. Perhaps the allure of the Madrid Movida, as some of its leading figures...
