Mozambique Movement

Here is a video of Kupfula Photography’s second exhibition: Mozambique Movement. The idea is to give all of you who missed the show a sense of what it looked like.

The show took place at the Fortaleza (Praca 25 de Junho) in Maputo between 3 and 6 April 2008. There was a couple of hundred people at the opening, filling the rooms and making some great comments. Have a look at the Noticias (main Mozambique daily paper) review of the exhibition here, they describe it as, “An exhibition of great technical and aesthetic quality”!

“Mozambique Movement” is made up exclusively of photos from Mozambique that capture movement, whether that is physical, social or political. The idea was to capture a dynamic society in development and move away from static images that we have all become familiar with. The exhibition includes photos from around Mozambique: north to south, urban to rural, industrial to social to try and capture this dynamism and juxtapose images in order to challenge the viewer’s perspective of Mozambique. Each member was given 4 slots at the exhibition with the remaining spaces being filled through a competition.

Through the window

The group’s first exhibition. Displayed at the Fortaleza in Maputo in order to raise money for the Hamza Institute Orphanage in nearby Matola. The exhibition raised over $1600 for the orphanage and this has been handed over to them. Several hundred people made it through the doors on the two days it was open. Our thanks go to all those that supported the exhibition and the orphanage.

‘Through the Window’ was based on our impressions of looking into Mozambique from our lives. None of the group members were born or raised in Mozambique and so we have an outsider’s perspective and varying degrees of interaction.
