The exhibition features the works by trio photographers I SEE A DIFFERENT YOU, who are featured in the STUDIO AFRICA campaign. Members of I SEE A DIFFERENT YOU from Soweto, South Africa are twin brothers, Innocent and Justice Mukheli and their best friend Vuyo Mpantsha, with an eye for style and ambition to show their continent in a whole new light.

“There’s negative and positive in everything. We choose to look at the positive.” The dream is to make it their full-time job and the goal is not just to show a different side of South Africa to the world, but to show a different world to South Africa. Exhibited works will be available to purchase during the show at Diesel Art Gallery.
