'Rising Up Together'
Gille de Vlieg at Durban Art Gallery'Rising Up Together' chronicles the work unsung documenter and activist Gille de Vlieg whose photographs of the resistance movement in Apartheid South Africa offer a powerful document of the times. De Vlieg, who had joined the Black Sash movement, took up the camera as a way of recording events for future generation. In 1984 she was invited by Paul Weinberg to join Afrapix and became intensely involved with documentary photography in rural and urban areas. Her images have been published in newspapers, magazines and books nationally and internationally but De Vlieg herself has achieved little recognition. This exhibition, which premiered at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown earlier this year, should go some way toward changing that fact.
