This book explores the historical relationship between South Africa and the Netherlands: the connections and contradictions of migration, ethnicity, colonialism, and apartheid. Farren van Wyk was born in South Africa in 1993, the last year of the apartheid era that officially classified her as “coloured”. Being born in South Africa and growing up in the Netherlands, Van Wyk brings together South African, Dutch, and Black American cultural aspects in black-and-white analogue photographs. Being neither black nor white, a person of colour is a shade of grey in which everything is possible. Van Wyk’s body of work demonstrates a reconciliation and acceptance of mixed identity.
