description This photo essay explores the photographic work of Visual History students from the University of the Western Cape in the context of human and non-human relations as they stand in connection to the ocean and the Anthropocene. The photographs were taken on an annual class excursion to the coastal South African village of Pringle Bay and are in some ways a practical exploration of theoretical themes explored in the class, but also an exploration of South African space in terms of historical access. Here there is a layering of historical and climate injustice explored through the different liquid lenses or frameworks of Underwater, Horizon, Surface and Passage.
