Newtown – Johannesburg’s first urban regeneration project. Lying in the shadows of one of the city’s most congested highways, the area is largely ignored by all who drive by. For its residents, however, Newtown stands as a symbol of progress and possibility – ever- evolving. In “Regeneration”, they watch over Newtown’s latest project, the Junction Mall, the illustrative style capturing the interplay between old and new, what’s seen and unseen, as determined by the observer’s position, place in time, and personal perspective.
