In the early 1990s Dutch photographer Ad van Denderen travelled to Welkom, a small mining town in South-Africa, to document the last days of apartheid. 25 years later his critically acclaimed photo book Welkom in Suid-Afrika was discovered by Lebohang Tlali, who grew up in Welkom''s neighbouring township Thabong.

Welkom Today combines new and historic photographs by Van Denderen, Tlali, as well as images from family albums, newspaper archives, and essays. In a multivocal, non-hierarchical way, the project opens up to multiple histories and perspectives, across generations and backgrounds.
