uMama explores single motherhood and the personal moments that can often be overlooked as banal. It is in these moments that Dhlamini takes the concept of uMama not only as a gendered figure, but as a more complex signifier of societal issues. Reflecting on his own family life experiences, Dhlamini celebrates the roles of single mothers in society but also recognizes their challenges.
The Market Photo Workshop cordially invites you to uMama a product of the 2011/2012 Edward Ruiz Mentorship run at the Market Photo Workshop.
