Jodi Bieber'sSOWETO   Acclaimed home-grown photographer, Jodi Bieber, has created an open-ended essay which is a celebration and a portrait of life in Soweto today. The importance of Soweto in the collective consciousness is hard to overstate. It registers as a place born of resistance, perhaps even embodying the South African struggle for freedom. But the birth of Kwaito is attributed to Soweto too.

No one paid to be in this book. The selection was made purely on the basis of 'cool' resulting in an irreverent, ironic and electic mix of products designed in every corner of the globe.
