The Roger Ballen Foundation proudly announces international photographers coming to South Africa

Stephen Shore’s Ginger Shore, Causeway Inn, Tampa, Florida, November 17 1977

Not only will this exhibition mark the first time Muniz, Shore and Tschäpe show their work in Johannesburg, but will also treat us to many of the photographers' most iconic and important works. The exhibition opens at the Johannesburg Art Gallery on the 26 July and will mark the official inauguration of the Roger Ballen Foundation in Johannesburg.

In addition, Shelley Rice, Professor of Art History at New York University will lead the educational programme. This will include seminars and public conversation focusing on art dialogue and photographic criticism. Organised in conjunction with Witwatersrand University and the Johannesburg Art Gallery, the Roger Ballen Foundation brings you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to participate and witness this exceptional photographic discourse.

The three part photography exhibition and lecture series is part of the Foundation's larger mission to promote photographic education in South Africa by showcasing world-class photographers whose work has not yet been seen locally. Also included is an exciting educational programme mediated by Shelley Rice, Professor of Photography at NYU, in which photographers, students and the general public will have the opportunity to participate in lectures and workshops.
