"Mixedness is my Mythology’ explores the historical relationship between South Africa and the Netherlands that revolves around the connections and contradictions of migration, ethnicity, colonialism and apartheid. Farren was born in South Africa in 1993, the official last year of the apartheid era that classified her as Coloured. Farren’s grandparents were forcefully removed and her parents chose to raise Farren in The Netherlands from the age of six. Being born in South Africa and growing up in the Netherlands has created a point of intersectionality in which she bring South African, Dutch, African American and Black American cultural aspects together in images.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
