The research was done by the South African philosopher and architect Hilton Judin in cooperation with a team of sixty architects, photographers, filmmakers, and writers. The exhibition was part of the Rotterdam manifestation ‘South African Seasons’ on culture, architecture, and urban development. The manifestation was closed by a conference on architecture and ethics. Then the exhibition took place in the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin and in Museum Africa in Johannesburg from July till December 2000.
