Located in the harsh desert terrain of Kleinzee in the Northern Cape of South Africa. Beauty for Ashes delves into the abandoned diamond mines of multinational conglomerates De Beers and Anglo America, now occupied by the local people within this forgotten town.
The diggers who occupy these areas through self-organized cooperatives have done so in response to the unemployment crisis in South Africa, with their makeshift tools and skills learned from their elders, some of whom were previously employed by these multinationals.
This quest for survival draws an immediate and clear correlation to the need for the decolonization of natural resources and the ongoing Land Debate in South Africa, where the flight for land expropriation without compensation is ongoing and highly contested.
