The projects brought together within Pass It On all take family archives as a starting point. Kganye’s Ho thubeha ha lebone addresses her family’s pictures made during apartheid in South Africa. In A Garden Revisioned, Meijer discovers an archive of pre-wedding photographs at a wedding hall in Gwangju which functioned between 1988 and 2006, and laid unoccupied until it was demolished during the artist’s stay in South Korea. Ingleby’s Operation Detachment originates from boxes of photographs, negatives, and documents which she inherited from her grandfather Bruce Elkus, who was an official US Army photographer in 1945 Iwo Jima. Lastly, for It Doesn’t Stop at Images, initiated especially for Pass It On, Lerma dives into the IHLIA LGBTI Heritage’s collection, composing possible queer relations representations from visual materials he encounters there.
