About the event
Roger Ballen Lecture: Spirits and Spaces
Saturday, 22 November 2025 |
10:00 to 11:00
Roger Ballen Centre for Photography, Johannesburg
Join world-renowned photographic artist Roger Ballen for an exclusive lecture on his latest publication, Spirits and Spaces, his first major body of colour work published by Thames & Hudson.
This special event offers visitors the rare opportunity to walk through the exhibition Chaos Has Many Faces before hearing directly from Ballen about the evolution of his visual language over a career spanning more than five decades. In this hour-long illustrated talk, Ballen will trace the journey that led from his iconic black and white psychological portraits to the surreal, vivid worlds of Spirits and Spaces.
