LOBA 2025 Shortlist – Jodi Windvogel “Life Under Occupation – Cissie Gool House”
South African photographer Jodi Windvogel documents the years-long occupation of Cissie Gool House, a former hospital in Cape Town that was taken over in 2017 by the housing movement Reclaim the City.
The building became a home for more than 2,000 people and a space of collective organisation against exclusionary urban planning rooted in apartheid-era policies.
Windvogel’s series captures daily routines, shared spaces, and the formation of a self-organised community between 2017 and 2023.
The occupation ended with a forced eviction last year.
