Gallery Image presented the exhibition  Concurrent  with works by the South African artists Thembinkosi Hlatshwayo and Jansen van Staden and curated by John Fleetwood. Concurrent  is an exhibition of two South African photographers' work: Jansen van Staden and Thembinkosi Hlatshwayo. Their work deals with the complexities of family relationships and places, legacies of violence, and the possibilities of transformation that photography holds. It bears the entanglement of histories of Apartheid and colonialism in the present, but also about practices of transition and countering.
