Artist Statement:
Often left behind or disregarded by the powers that be, Durban’s urban innovators show off their resilience and ingenuity on a daily basis, piecing together and repurposing discarded and unwanted items to create hybrid and often multi-purpose products. Photographer Samora Chapman gives us a ‘slice of life’ look at life hacking in the city of Durban, honouring the everyday knowledge systems of the street and the creativity born from necessity.
