    In the series featured in this exhibition, South African photographer Karabo Mooki explores the growing punk counterculture in Soweto and Johannesburg. Born in Soweto before moving to the suburbs of Johannesburg as a child, Mooki developed a passion for the AfroPunk skateboarding world that brings together an unlikely group of Black and white youth, crossing a divide entrenched by Apartheid.
