Africa

What is Africa?

Dark and foreboding? No. Gentle and forgiving? No. A society melded into one? No. Skyscrapers and malls? No.

What is Africa? Lions and elephants? Yes. But most importantly, it's a land of people and heritage. As old as time itself.

BoKaap

2016

Bo-Kaap, nestled on the slopes of Signal Hill in Cape Town, South Africa, is famous for its vibrant, candy-colored houses lining cobbled streets. These brightly painted homes reflect the rich cultural heritage of the area's predominantly Muslim community, many of whom are descendants of enslaved people brought from Southeast Asia. The colors are a symbol of freedom and identity, chosen by residents after the end of apartheid.
