South African contemporary photography

29 September - 27 October 2007

This year, myherefordshire.com has been lucky enough to have access to a few images from the exhibition African salad by Stan Engelbrecht. You will not see these images elsewhere, and please visit his exibition for more details and to see more stunning images from the collection. To find out more information on the festival your can visit this page, and you can also find out about the associated festival conference.

Over a period of 18 months, the Cape Town based photographer Stan Engelbrecht travelled across South Africa knocking on the front doors of family homes and asking people about their favourite recipes. Over one hundred families opened their doors to the photographer and shared their recipes with him.
The result of this project is a visual record of the people he met on the trip, their homes and hand written recipes of their favourite meal. In 2005 the completed project was turned into a book African Salad, that has been a big success in South Africa.
For the first time African Salad has been produced into an exhibition especially for the Hereford Photography Festival.
