The Curator Series presents engaging discussions with leading curators in the field of photography who represent diverse institutions worldwide. These conversations delve into the curator’s ongoing projects, the evolving role of curators in today’s photographic realm, and what they look for in preparing exhibitions, festivals, and museum shows. Hosted by Heleen Peeters and Ilvy Njiokiktjien, the series provides insights into the curatorial process for exhibitions, festivals, and museum shows, offering practical advice for photographers looking to collaborate with curators. In the first episode, we speak with Azu Henry Nwagbogu, founder and director of African Artists’ Foundation and the LagosPhoto Festival in Nigeria.

Born Free: Generation of Hope
This year marks the thirtieth anniversary since Nelson Mandela became president of South Africa, initiating a new chapter for the country. Since 2007, VII contributing photographer Ilvy Njiokiktjien has chronicled South Africa’s first post-apartheid generation. She became intrigued by these young adults and has followed the stories of more than 30 so-called ‘Born Frees’, portraying their daily lives in her distinctive and intimate style. On Saturday, September 14th, 2024, the Apartheid Museum will open Ilvy Njiokiktjien’s exhibition Born Free: Generation of Hope. Photographs and short films of young South Africans born around 1994 – 30 years later. Join us for a panel discussion with the photographer and curators of the show. This event is organized by the Apartheid Museum and VII Insider (a program of The VII Foundation in partnership with PhotoWings). It takes place at the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg, South Africa, on Saturday, September 14th, 2024, starting at 15:00 SAST (15:00 CEST / 09:00 EDT). You can attend in-person, or online. For those attending online, please register via the link on this page to receive the login information for the online streaming. Speakers: Azu Nwagbogu p rovided curatorial oversight and will talk about his efforts to challenge stereotypes and promote authentic storytelling about Africa. Through his work, he emphasizes the importance of understanding cultural contexts and encourages both African and non-African photographers to engage deeply with the communities they document. Neo Ntsoma co-curator of the exhibition will offer her perspective on the born free generation, drawing from her unique vantage point as someone from the preceding generation who has observed their development and impact on South African society. Ilvy Njiokiktjien photographer and videographer (whose photographs and films are being showcased in this exhibition) will focus on the experiences she has had with the born frees over the past 17 years, sharing insights from her extensive work documenting their lives and aspirations. Moderator: Kneo Mokgopa of the Nelson Mandela Foundation writes about socio-economic politics, human rights and African political movements.
