Description:

The Street is my Stage | Moments in Monochrome is the title of Quaniet Richards’ debut exhibition and debut photo book. Captured over a period of eighteen months, the photographs offer an intimate glimpse into everyday life across Cape Town, celebrating the rhythm, spontaneity and quiet theatre of the city’s people and streets.

Presented in conversation with Patrick de Mervelec’s Foundations of Freedom, Quaniet Richards’ collection photographs continue the tradition of humanist street photography. Both photographers transform everyday encounters into compelling visual narratives, revealing the extraordinary within the ordinary.

Presented at Sanlam Art Gallery.
