Join us on Thursday 14 May from 5-8pm at PLASTER Magazine's London HQ where Robin Bernstein will share his experiences in creating his first photo book: MAPALAKATA.
The book engages with landscape via a visual reassessment of a key historical, geological and geographical region in Southern Africa. We are shown Mpumalanga - a province in Eastern South Africa, bordering the nations of Swaziland and Mozambique. Here is where we witness lush cliffs abruptly piercing the hot red earth of the deserted lowlands; serving as a geo-physical symbol for the edge of the South African frontier. It is a collision point that has inspired countless folk-tales, and has bore witness to centuries of epic warfare and the beginnings of the modern-day story of gold in South Africa.
Admission is free but space is limited.
