Abstract

The images that make up this visual essay are from the book Wake Up, This is Joburg, a collaboration between photographer Mark Lewis, and researcher, author and urban planner, Tanya Zack. They tell stories of people who have newly arrived, and others who are long-time residents, but all have found a way to inhabit urban space in South Africa’s largest city in unusual ways, carving out a living – and a life – in an alternative economy.
