Thank you to everyone who has supported the Kickstarter campaign to make this book a reality!! I can honestly say that this would not have been possible without you and I’m so excited to share this project in book form. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There are now just 5 days to go until the end, make sure to have a look if you are interested in a signed copy, or one of the limited edition books + prints. (The smaller prints will only be available for the duration of the kickstarter campaign) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Since 2017, I have been documenting the unique and aspirational subculture surrounding all-female teams of drum majorettes in South Africa, known as ‘Drummies,’ and the way the sport visibly empowers the young women involved. I’m really excited to be working on a photobook of the images, to be published by the wonderful Gost Books @gost_books with an essay by art critic, curator and writer, Christine Eyene. @eyonart.prjx. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This image is of the young women from Dr Van Der Ross Primary Majorettes. They are one of the closest teams I worked with and are incredibly supportive of each other. In Drum majorettes, there are no age groups; the younger members work together with the older ones. They are expected to keep up and maintain the high standards set by the older girls, who work to set a positive example and ensure they feel confident and supported within the team structure. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #female #empowerment #drummies #girlpower #sisterhood #family #community #southafrica #mediumformat #photobook #gostbooks
