Gulshan Khan

“Her interest in identity, transition and belonging within a post-colonial South Africa continues to direct her visual representations of the human condition and the world around her. It is her sensitivity, and the respect that she has for people that I feel comes through in her work, and is eventually the underlying strength of her photography. Gulshan is a believer that political and socio-economic awareness helps direct powerful visuals”
