Overview

The following 7 galleries represent two of Mona Serageldin’s 35mm film slide collections on housing projects and general tours of South Africa, as arranged in slide cases M19, “South Africa Sightseeing Tours,” and M20, “South Africa Tours,” consisting of color photographs of the Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng, and Free State provinces.

These image collections document housing and infrastructure projects and natural landscapes from around South Africa from 1996 through 2002, primarily from 2000-2002, and accompany Serageldin’s other photograph collections on South Africa from around the same years, these focusing on Municipal Infrastructure Programs and case studies of individual towns. The Western Cape province is most widely represented, covering primarily Cape Town and the Cederberg mountain range. Views of the area show aerial views, landscapes, streetscapes, and portraits.

Galleries M19-1, M19-2, M20-4, and M20-5 cover the Western Cape province.

Galleries M20-1, M20-2, and M20-3 cover the provinces of KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng, and Free State.
