Joao Silva reflects on SA
As South Africa celebrates 20 years of democracy, photographer Joao Silva contemplates, in the NYT Lens blog, his own and the country’s journey since the struggle against Apartheid.
“Joao Silva came of age as a photographer as his native South Africa was navigating a treacherous path to democracy. Twenty years later, he reflects on what has — and has not — changed,” reads the introduction to Silva’s piece in Lens, “Twenty Years After Apartheid.”
