As part of this project, research was carried out with the San communities living in Platfontein, near Kimberley. <strong>The \u201cPlaces in Me\u201d exhibition project comes from a common desire to gather and make visible the perspectives of young people in Platfontein on their place in South African society, through their viewpoint on the place where they live<\/strong>. Equipped with cameras, they documented aspects of their environment that they considered important, relevant and interesting. Interviews conducted in 2022 collected the authors\u2019 points of view on their pictures. The exhibition therefore proposes a dialogue between photos and their analysis by the nine young women and men who took part in the photovoice project, conveying their individual perspectives &#8211; how they see themselves, how they define and relate to the world, and what they aspire to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This exhibition was first shown in 2023 in Platfontein and then at Sol Plaatje University. <strong>For this third edition, at the Origins Centre, the exhibition has been expanded to include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Photographies and abstracts from the photo-voice interviews;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Twenty traditional objects, selected by the partner associations, accompanied by explanatory films, to speak of both tradition and modernity;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A short documentary film explaining the collaborations developed between communities and researchers;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A booklet in which the voices can be read and heard trough a QR code system both in !Xuntali and Khwedam.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The opening event will be structured around talks and performances, all translated into !Xuntali and Khwedam.
