La Tesi / The Thesis - Final Presentation.


The day has finally arrived for the final presentation. And with this I would just like to thank the people who  played an important part in this:

I would to thank my advisor Bert Theis for his guidance and inspiration. Then I would like to thank all the people who granted me interviews. Thank you to Ra Hlasane and Malose Malahlela from Keleketla!, Ravi Govender, Jacki McInnes, Louise van Zijl at Assemblage Studio, Francios Venter from Goethe and Hayleigh Evans and Bheki Dube from Maboneng Precinct. Thank you also to Joseph Gaylard,Alice Nevin and Matthew Wilhelm-Solomon for sharing your research with me. I would like to thank my dear friends Edith, Leah, Jessica, Wei-Ning and Sibi, for the humour, the support and just being my family here, without you I wouldn't have made it through with all my sanity in tact. Lastly but most importantly my parents for both the financial and emotional support for the two years studying in Italy.
