Every
year
in
May
young
creatives
take
the
streets
of
Johannesburg
in
a
way
that
has
never
been
done
before
yet
familiar
to
every
one
of
us
Joburgers.
The
team
brings
forward
vivid
images
of
the
lives
of
Joburgers.
The
photo
series
unashamedly
idolizes
the
city
and
elevates
it
to
deity
status
by
suggesting
that
each
and
every
one
of
us
recites
an
unconscious
prayer
to
this
concrete
God
everyday.
The
everyday
scenes
of
vagabonds
in
South
Africa’s
traffic
intersections
inspired
this
mirroring
photo
shoot.
The
idea
twisted
and
exchanged
roles
removing
the
hobo
and
replacing
it
with
you!
The
“normal”
citizen
who
is
supposedly
contends
with
“less”
problems
because
you
have
a
home
to
sleep
in
every
night,
probably
a
car
and
three
meals
a
day.
The
series
then
asked
is
it
really
the
case?
Are
“normal”
or
“comfortable”
citizenz
living
without
problems,
and
if
they
do
are
they
less
“tragic”
or
worthy
of
donations
monetary
or
otherwise
from
strangers?
Within
the
20
seconds
you
spend
at
a
traffic
light,
a
homeless
person
wielding
a
piece
of
cardboard
laden
with
carefully
planned
writing
regardless
of
the
shattered
grammar
can
tell
you
his
whole
life
story
and
have
you
retched
with
guilt
for
driving
that
car
or
even
having
clothes
with
no
holes
in
them.
The
stories
they
write
always
have
a
secret
weapon
or
a
trump
card.
The
words
“May
God
Bless
You”
are
as
good
to
a
homeless
person
as
a
bank
guaranteed
check.
Is
there
a
better
guarantee/tool
than
an
all-‐powerful
entity
responsible
for
your
existence?
But
who
is
there
to
help
you
with
your
supposedly
“easy”
problems?
Who
is
there
to
help
an
accountant
who
is
ravaged
by
debt
yet
lives
in
a
mansion
and
drives
a
posh
car?
Who
is
there
to
help
him
with
change?
Is
there
help
for
a
self-‐confessed
gluttonous
and
greedy
B.E.E.
struggle
hero
who
religiously
prays
for
another
tender
after
several
already
won
and
squandered?
How
about
a
white
male
UCT
grad
that
cannot
start
a
business
because
he
has
a
low
B.E.E
rating
in
a
land
of
native
Africans?
The
series
supposes
that
in
all
our
differences
each
and
every
one
of
us
has
a
prayer
to
be
fulfilled.
A
prayer
for
a
successful
day
in
Joburg.
The
images
drive
forward
that
we
are
all
the
same
at
the
end
of
the
day
when
we
retire
to
bed
or
under
open
skies.
The
photo
series
does
not
“traditional”
captions
because
the
viewer
is
tasked
with
answering
the
posed
question

3. /About/I
Create
We
Create
Authentic
Creatives
is
collaborative
project
that
harnesses
individual
talent
and
augments
that
talent
through
group
exertion.
The
aim
of
the
project
is
to
collate
creative
talent
that
is
often
ignored,
misunderstood
or
ineffectively
utilised.
The
project
seeks
these
unique
and
special
individuals
and
surrounds
them
with
unlike
minded
creatives
to
produce
what
has
never
been
created
before.
Authentic
Creatives
places
one’s
level
of
formal
education
at
the
least
of
its
requirements
and
focuses
on
raw
talent
to
reveal
potential.
Once
this
potential
has
been
identified
it
is
then
easier
for
a
creative
to
then
enter
formal
education
and
excel.
The
project
provides
a
platform
for
talented
individuals
to
collaborate,
contributing
their
expertise
to
create
a
product
e.g.
Photo
Exhibition,
online
campaign,
video,
documentary,
books
,
music
videos,
outdoor
advertising
campaign
etc.
These
activities
are
credited
to
their
portfolio
as
sellable
proof
on
one’s
various
endeavours.
We
therefore
encourage
entrepreneurship
and
through
collaborative
efforts
to
produce
viable
businesses.

4. Workshops
I
Create
We
Create
prides
itself
on
it’s
ability
to
attract
talented,
young
and
aspiring
creatives
from
a
variety
of
backgrounds.
Our
approach
this
year
will
involve
a
two
day
ideas
exchange
workshop
pre
and
post
photoshooting.
We
will
host
40-‐50
creatives
who
will
interact
with
seasoned
guest
photographers
and
acclaimed
creatives
from
different
industries.
We
recognise
that
Industries
such
as
magazine
publishing
and
advertising
often
lack
“authentic”
creatives
with
raw
talent.
Our
speakers
will
use
this
opportunity
to
address
talented
individuals
on
opportunities
in
pursuing
specific
industries
for
a
career.
Our
acclaimed
guests
will
present
their
work
in
seminar
style
and
follow
up
with
inspiring
the
young
creatives
in
a
relaxed
idea
exchange
session.
After
the
launch
event
the
resulting
photo
material
will
be
exhibited
over
a
period
of
two
weeks.
During
this
period
we
will
host
two
short
seminars
with
three
sesoned
guests
at
each
to
talk-‐through
the
exhibition
for
a
period
no
longer
than
4
hours.
