A new exhibition in London combines modern and historic photos of a small Namibian town, exploring its history of colonialism and apartheid. 'Usakos - Photographs Beyond Ruins: The Old Location Albums, 1920s to 1960s', showing at the Brunei Gallery, SOAS, highlights the popularity of photography among the local community as early as the 1920s. The contemporary images taken by Paul Grendon show the traces left on the land and the people, by years of political change in Namibia. Curator Lorena Rizzo told Dan Damon about what these pictures tell us about the community and the country.

Exhibition Curators: Paul Grendon (Photographer, Cape Town), Giorgio Miescher (University of Basel), Lorena Rizzo (University of Bielefeld and Harvard University) and Tina Smith (District Six Museum, Cape Town)
