New exhibition @ WAM 'Between the cracks: Paul Weinberg' Tuesday 13 May 2025 @ 18:00 for 18:30

Join us at WAM for the opening of Between the cracks: Paul Weinberg on Tuesday 13 May 2025 @ 18:00 for 18:30. The exhibition will be opened by historian Professor Thulasizwe Simpson from the Faculty of Humanities, University of Pretoria. This retrospective exhibition brings together nearly five decades of Weinberg’s extensive photographic career. His work has taken him on multiple journeys and he has sought to go beyond the headlines, engaging in in-depth storytelling. Photography, for him, became both a form of resistance and a means of survival Between the cracks: Paul Weinberg is curated by Fiona Rankin-Smith. Parking for the opening event is available in the garage beneath the museum. For more information on the show and museum please email Julia.Charlton@wits.ac.za
