Spazas

ADA (art, design and architecture) was a magazine from South Africa first published in 1986 at the height of the apartheid era. It was a revolutionary magazine focusing on the creative talent within South Africa. Edited and published by art critic, Jennifer Sorrell, the magazine was revolutionary for its time, delivering an alternative type of journalism. True to the spirit of resistance and transformation in South Africa at the time, they envisioned a prospective post-apartheid cultural identity for South Africa. There were only 14 issues ever printed, randomly between 1986-1996. They are very much collectors items now. 

The extracts have been carefully selected by us and matched against African fabrics.

This extract is on the Spazas of Khayelitsha. A Spaza is an unofficial shop in a township in South Africa. The shops provided an income and also demonstrated the creativity of the people selling their hand made crafts.
