Farzanah Badsha 2014

"Curators in Residence: Curating Collections"grant scheme by KfW Stiftung at Weltkulturen Museum, Frankfurt 

The South African curator Farzanah Badsha (born 1978 in Durban, lives and works in Cape Town) uses her research on the Weltkulturen Museum's collection of South African prints from the apartheid era of the 1970s and 1980s to set up an exploratory exhibition in the Green Room, displaying works by John Muafangejo, Azaria Mbatha and Dan Rakgoathe from the museum's South Africa collection. 

Badsha was project manager for visual arts at Cape Town's Africa Centre before becoming a member of the curatorial panel for the city's public art project "art54". Her main focus lies with South African documentary photography from the 1980s.
