"Many of these people went into exile – many of them died young while in exile – and with them their recollections. The impetus to the movement was deeply broken and, as a result, there is very little information out there other than Drum Magazine. There are aspects of this archive, but they're under-utilised."
– Matthew Blackman

At the conclusion of the inaugural A4 Library Residency, Matthew Blackman, Khanya Mashabela, and Daniel Malan discuss South African jazz, art, and photojournalism in the 1950s and ‘60s.
