University of Cape Town (UCT) PhD candidate, architect and lecturer Clint Abrahams received the 2022 Social Responsiveness Award for his work on Bong's Inn, a community project in Macassar. Picture: Lerato Maduna:

award-winning street photography project, which was created with Macassar’s youth and John Coetzee, principal technical officer from the School of Architecture, Planning and Geomatics. The ‘Who We Are’ exhibition aimed to ‘alter the distorted mental image of the Macassar community’.

He says the project redefined his role as an architect and researcher in the built environment. According to, local communities in Macassar were the focus of the project’s authors, instigators and Abrahams, who used his skills as an architect with writer Diana Ferrus to showcase the community-building potential of local spaces and to bring the storytelling place to life.

‘The completion of the Langa project is a testament to how the collaborative relationships forged by the Bong’s Inn project continue to have long-lasting impacts beyond Macassar.’
