FOR I AM NOT ASHAMED TO WEAR MY HERITAGE PROUDLY
IT IS THE ESSENCE OF MY BEING.
THE STARTING POINT OF THE STORY OF ME...
©thebeadLab

Cultural heritage is defined as a way of living that is passed on from generation to generation, including customs, practices, objects and values. In essence, it defines the way in which our ancestors have lived and how they have adapted certain traditions to embody an identity as a particular demographic or family.

A representation of the untold stories of the unemployed black youth in South Africa. They represent the guy from the corner store, the guy from back home, the drifter, the broke boy, the guy who has to "make a plan" and the lost boys without stories.

It's not bad photography, it's just not what you used to.

"Growing up in the Johannesburg school system exposed me to so many people with diverse backgrounds, which taught me a lot about their cultures and where they came from. My grandfather would also travel often and come back with rich stories about his journey and the beautiful cultures of African people, his photographs inspired me visually, and gave me the perfect afrocentric eye. As a result of my upbringing, I feel as if i am able to connect with the diverse people of Africa, ultimately connecting to myself."
