Supplication, Train Church, 1996
Mofokeng insists that ‘Train Church’, undertaken at the height of unrest in the 1980s, was “cast in political terms.”
The itinerant churches were partly a response to the strains of commuting forced upon millions of South Africans: the rising in the dark, the long journey to places of work, the return home late at night. One simply had no time to go to church.

Identity, 2009
I welcome myself back from an exciting trip around the country. I’m continuing on with my survey of the artists in the Africas: The Artist and the City exhibition from long ago. It’s been a great way of learning more about these fascinating and inspiring artists from the ancient continent.

photographic intervention on the Bridge of Joal-Fadiouth
for the event, “Universalism at Stake? Dialogues with Senghor
-here the tables are turned and the locals got a chance to turn the camera lenses on the tourists. His intention was to show both photos, one on each side, tourist and local. The photos were then installed along a highly trafficked foot-bridge.
