Once centred around Christianity, with the church serving as a sanctuary during apartheid, Tapoleng now finds itself negotiating shifting beliefs and identities. Blending interviews, improvised performance and observational footage, Mkulisi’s generous hybrid cinematic form embraces the rich textures of everyday life, creating a collaborative space in which her subjects represent and reimagine themselves on their own terms.
