Abstract
The University of the Western Cape (UWC) recently entered into a partnership with photographer Rashid Lombard to
house his substantial archival collection, which promises to offer
expanded perspectives on the everyday cultural and political
life of the Cape Flats. Consisting of a vast photographic record
of Cape Flats history from the 1960s onwards, as well as an
equally vast documentation of the history of jazz in South Africa,
the Rashid Lombard Collection brings into view a hitherto
repressed and often neglected feature of life under apartheid.
