Faces of Africa is a collection of 16”x20” mounted photographs taken by Feldman during his travels to the coastal regions of Africa. The collection is also featured in a recently published book with the same title. During his time in Africa, Feldman observed the many populations of Africa and the cultural diversity of the indigenous people. As a photographer, he felt compelled to photograph his observations from a unique and intimate perspective. Faces of Africa attempts to capture some of the facets of these various peoples in a documentary style of photography.
In addition to his passion for the people he was able to photograph, Feldman became familiar with the Charles Duna Primary School in Port Elizabeth, Africa. Feldman is donating a portion of his profit of sales from the exhibition to the school. Charles Duna was established in 1962. They currently have 1039 learners coming from the surrounding informal settlements. 80% of the parents are unemployed and those that are working have a low level of education. Their vision is to ensure that they deliver an education that will help emancipate their community out of poverty. Nombulelo Sume is the principal of the school and has graciously provided us with this information.
