Boniwe / South Africa - "Bonnie holds a photograph of her late daughter, whose body was discovered in the neighbor’s garbage after going missing a year earlier. The neighbor who raped and murdered her said he did it to change her — she was a lesbian." Presenting @hammond_robin @whereloveisillegal, being translated and projected in Hindi to the audience and grass roots human rights ngo volunteers and workers of Dalit marginalised communities in India #PVCHR. We are very proud to present this daring body of work in a very closed society of Varanasi. #JAPF will continue to be daring and militant taking important works to the forefront of spaces people cannot imagine them in. Thereby encouraging an environment of dialogue and engagement.
