Charles travels through rainstorms :: Mmegi Online

A man who does not know where the rain comes from usually gets drenched before he can find shelter. Mmegi staffer MOMPATI TLHANKANE recently attended Thalefang Charles’ MaruAPula Photographic Exhibition to see the works of a man who can foresee the weather through the lens of a camera

A travel writer, photographer and arts lover, Charles’ Exhibition is now open at Thapong Visual Arts Centre gallery until October 4, 2017. From the Angolan highlands of Tempue to the confluence of Thamalakane and Boro, the photographic artworks depict the man’s journey on the road and through the lens in areas where it was possible to meet the eye of the storm and be caught right in the middle of it.

Being able to predict the weather by observing cloud formations and to top it all off, capture it on camera, is a rare skill, which Charles takes great advantage of. He called the exhibition 'Maru-A-Pula' because from young age he had to know which side the clouds were coming from.
