Objects

DIY is looking for documentation of functional objects made by amateurs, artists and designers from South Africa for an exhibition and online archive. Please read the call for submissions for more about the kind of work we’re looking for. The model for submissions is to photograph the object, and capture the name, a portrait, and contact details where possible of the maker, whether yourself or another person. You should also record a brief explanation of how the person came to make this object, in their own words: what motivated them, what choices they made, what materials they used and what circumstances they were responding to.
