Summary

This book is Margaret Courtney-Clarke's visual ode to her home country of Namibia, and describes the bare circumstances of ordinary Namibians, of women and men forced to negotiate ravaged lives. Returning to Namibia in 2009 after decades of living abroad, Courtney-Clarke encountered a changed country in the throes of unrestrained development, the Namib Desert desecrated, and peoples migrating from rural settlements to towns in search of a better life. 0These photos are the result of Courtney-Clarke?s travels over 30,000 kilometers across dusty plains, sand dunes and salt pans, through conservancies, homelands and forgotten outposts. They evidence her passionate concern for human enterprise and failure, and for an inhospitable environment infused with remnants of apartheid as well as hope. Exhibition: FNB Joburg Art Fair, Johannesburg, South Africa (08.-10.09.2017); Stellenbosch Modern and Contemporary Art Gallery, Stellenbosch and Cape Town, South Africa (2017); National Art Gallery of Namibia, Windhoek, Namibia (2018).
