In this episode of Curtain Call we are profiling Musa Nxumalo. He is a Soweto-born documentary photographer who now lives and works in Johannesburg. Born in 1987, this young man’s work has seen him travel the world with his avid depiction of everyday youth encounters, challenges and basically life through the eyes of the South African youth. His style of photography is alternative and he encapsulates the youth and what their culture is. Given the nature of the show this artist has been challenged to create a piece of work in the visual arts field other than photography. Musa is given the challenge of being a visual artist doing what is called collage painting. Catch Curtain Mondays at 00:30 on SABC 3!
