SUMMARY:2:40 a.m. Going to Work: The Transported of KwaNdebele at Yale University Art Gallery
DESCRIPTION:The Yale University Art Gallery presents a compelling lunchtime talk on The Transported of KwaNdebele\, a 1983 photographic series by David Goldblatt. On May 7\, 2025\, at 12:30 pm\, Daniel Menzo\, the Marcia Brady Tucker Fellow in the Department of Photography\, will lead an in-depth discussion of a selection of Goldblatt’s images documenting the grueling commutes endured by Black South African workers under apartheid. \nThe series offers a stark portrayal of life in KwaNdebele\, one of South Africa’s so-called “homelands\,” created by apartheid policy to forcibly relocate Black South Africans. With few local opportunities\, many residents faced daily commutes of up to eight hours to reach jobs in urban centers like Pretoria. Goldblatt’s images follow this journey\, capturing both the physical toll and the quiet dignity of those who made it. \nThe talk will take place at the Yale University Art Gallery\, 1111 Chapel Street\, New Haven\, CT 06510. Admission is free and open to the public. For more information\, visit artgallery.yale.edu.
