This Home of Ours
by Ayesha Kazim
Ayesha Kazim’s This Home of Ours is a poignant visual archive chronicling the vibrant yet vulnerable Bo-Kaap community in Cape Town, South Africa. Against the backdrop of escalating gentrification, Kazim’s work captures the resilience of the predominantly Muslim Coloured population, whose deep-rooted heritage is under threat.

Through intimate portraits and striking depictions of the changing urban landscape, the book shifts focus from abstract social issues to the real people who sustain Bo-Kaap’s cultural essence. At the crossroads of race, religion, and identity, Kazim explores themes of displacement and history while celebrating the community’s unyielding spirit.
