Josephy is a Senior Lecturer in Fine Art (Photography) at the Michaelis school of Fine Art at the University of Cape Town

She has held a number of exhibitions of her creative work, nationally and internationally, and curated a number of group exhibitions.

Her research interests include Southern African Photography, documentary photography, contemporary South African lens based practice and colonial photography. Her writing on these areas has been published in various books, journals and catalogues on contemporary art and photography.

Josephy’s research is concerned with notions of post apartheid photography, particularly as it connects to the politics of space and the land and its representation in relation to identity. She is interested in ‘new documentary’ forms that have emerged in post apartheid South Africa.'

The exhibition is co-hosted by the Wits City Institute and the Wits Arts Museum.

There will also be a Talkabout with the artist on Saturday, 5 March 2016 at 12:00.
