During this LIVE TALK, Ilvy Njiokiktjien will guide us through the long and nuanced 12-year journey that became her signature project, “Born Free — Mandela’s Generation of Hope”, about South Africa’s post-apartheid generation.
In conversation with Paul Lowe, she will explain how she found the characters around whom the narrative of the story is constructed, and share insights into some of the delicate issues she had to confront within a continually evolving and turbulent environment.
She will also touch on the hurdles she had to overcome working on such a long-term project as a young storyteller and how the Lumix Festival might have helped her with that.
“Born Free” is a book, an interactive website, a traveling exhibition, a short documentary, an hour-long documentary. The stories appear in media around the world.
Session was hosted by VII Photo.
