Street Studio by Alexia Webster

First created in March 2011, the Street Studio project is a communal family photo album which has set up free outdoor photographic studios on more than 20 street corners and public spaces around the world. In each community a public photo studio was created inviting any passing families and individuals to pose for a portrait.

The photos were then printed on site for free with a photo printer for the participant to take away with them for their own family album. From street corners in informal settlements in Cape Town, to refugee camps in the DRC and South Sudan, a working rock quarry in Madagascar, a few neighbourhoods in Mumbai, India, and parks and migrant shelters in Tijuana, Mexico, the studios are set up with the understanding that a family photograph can be a powerful and precious object.

Both a participatory art performance as well as a communal gathering space, the Studios are open and at the same time very intimate. By creating space for public displays of love and identity, they offer the community and individuals an affirmation of heritage and belonging. With thousands of photographs taken over an almost 8 year period, the Street Studio is an archive of family and love, an archive that documents not what makes things fall apart but what keeps them together.

The images in this series are from five street studios that were set up in Hillbrow in Johannesburg, Woodstock, Blikkiesdorp, Du Noon and Cape Town city center.

When you are a woman under the wolf moon.
The earth does not simply exist it howls and beams.
When you are a woman under the wolf moon.
War is not an inevitable consequence but a wound that cuts out eyes.
When you are a woman.
The right to bear children is not an obligation but a choice.
When you are under the moon.
Prayer is not religious but a form of breath.
When you hear the wolf.
You sing. You sing.
When you sing. You are. The wolf. The moon.
And when you exist as all those things. Then you are and you know.
That woman roam together. Are held by the night.
Pregnant with the potential of the future.

In solidarity with the people and children of Palestine, Rizq Art Gallery will remain closed this Friday, 31st of May.

Film Still : Wall Piano, 2018, Asma Ghanem (Palestine), Christopher Marianetti (USA), and Alexia Webster (South Africa)

RAI Exhibition Still : ‘Listening for Traces’ curated by @cathyclapton

In 2018, in the Qalandia refugee camp in Ramallah, 12-year-old Nada envisioned a short film reimagining the nine-meter-high, 708km-long wall built by Israel around the West Bank. The resulting short, “Wall Piano,” explores a child’s daydream, transforming the imposing separation wall into something beyond a brutal barrier.

The film emerged from workshops with the artists along with children from the refugee camp. As Asma Ghanem notes, “For these kids, the powerful wall controlling their lives becomes something else through their imagination.”

Special thanks to all contributors, especially the children Nada, Belques, Rama, Muhammad, Ahmad, and their parents.

*Best Album Artwork of 2023

Nappy Nina - Mourning Due

For my next-to-last 2023 list, I'd like to recognize those artists that created album artwork that to me, resonated and stood out the most. You can quite often tell if an album has potential from just seeing the artwork. It tends to be our first experience before pressing ▶️ on an album and there's an energy that comes with it when that art stands out from the rest. There's too much mass-produced, mediocre and just plain awful artwork being presented to listeners these days which will continue to reinforce the overall process as an artist that when you are patient, creative and operating at a high level with the on-going goal of offering up quality (vs. quantity), you'll be amazed at the spark it ignites within you to strive for excellence and continuing to evolve your craft. 🎨

*My sincere apologies if I missed/messed up a credit. If so, please let me know so I can correct it.

In 2018 in Qalandia refugee camp in Ramallah, a frontline of the West Bank conflict, 12 year old Nada had an idea for a short film - a surreal reimagining of the nine meter high, 708km long wall that Israel built around the West Bank in 2002. The resulting short, ‘Wall Piano’, takes us into the daydream of a child who lives under the shadow of a separation wall, showing the wall as something other than a brutal and immovable barrier.

Concept: Qater Al-Nada Hmouz
Directors: Asma Ghanem(@asma_ghanem_art), Christopher Marianetti(@nopiano) & Alexia Webster (@alexiawebster)
Music & Editing: Christopher Marianetti
Sound: Christopher Botta
Producers: Elena Moon Park(@emoonpark) & Found Sound Nation (@foundsound)

The film arose from a series of workshops with artists Asma Ghanem (Palestine), Christopher Marianetti (USA), Alexia Webster (South Africa) and a group of children living in the long-standing refugee camp. As Asma Ghanem reflects, “I think what is important about the project is that for these kids the whole concept of this powerful wall that is controlling their lives, out of nowhere, it becomes something else. The very definition of the wall passes through their imagination in a different way.”

A special thanks to all who contributed and supported this artistic work, especially the participating children Nada, Belques, Rama, Muhammad, Ahmad, and their parents.

⚡️ NORIENT FESTIVAL BLOCK 02 · TRACKED: DAYDREAMS OF FREEDOM

Block 02 des Norient Festivals zeigt zwei Kurzfilme im ständigen Wechsel und entführt so in eine Endlosschleife von Tagträumen über Freiheit, Verzweiflung, Ausbeutung und Heilung.

Der Film «Terra Mater» nimmt uns mit an einen Ort des Abfalls und zeigt einerseits die Ausbeutung Afrikas, andererseits einen Raum für Heilung. Der Kurzfilm ist ein wütender Appell an die Welt, Verantwortung für die Auswirkungen von Kapitalismus, Kolonialismus und Umweltzerstörung in Afrika zu übernehmen.

Der Kurzfilm «Wall Piano» ist der Tagtraum eines Mädchens, das am Qalandia Checkpoint in Ramallah lebt.

+++

Block 02 of the Norient Festival shows two short films in constant rotation, taking us on an endless loop of daydreams about freedom, despair, exploitation and healing.

The film «Terra Mater» takes us to a place of waste and shows the exploitation of Africa on the one hand, and a space for healing on the other. The short film is an angry appeal to the world to take responsibility for the effects of capitalism, colonialism and environmental destruction in Africa.

The short film «Wall Piano» is the daydream of a girl who lives at the Qalandia checkpoint in Ramallah.

#AlexiaWebster (South Africa, 1979) is one of the 12 shortlisted photographers of #PrixPictetHope. She is a photographer and visual artist whose work explores the values of intimacy, family and identity throughout the African continent and beyond.

The series Street Studios was inspired by a family portrait hung in the hallway of her childhood home in South Africa. She began to set up free outdoor photographic studios on street corners around the world. In each community, she invited passers-by and their families to pose for a portrait. Open and at the same time very intimate, the studios created a space for public displays of love and identity.
