The French Institute of South Africa and IFAS-Research has given carte blanche to Mark Lewis to create a series of photos about the reclaimers of Johannesburg, accompanied by Luyanda Hlatshwayo, member of the African Reclaimers Organisation (ARO).
The texts that come with each portrait are the direct testimonies of the photographed subjects, collected by the French Institute of South Africa and IFAS-Research teams.
