Heroin Falls at Sainsbury Centre

The exhibition aims to show connections which will lead viewers to acknowledge substance misuse is a global challenge that transcends race, location and class.

Magnum photographer Lindokuhle Sobekwa aims his lens at a group of young men from a South African township Thokoza whom have turned to using nyaope.

Nyaope is a low-grade form of heroin which can be mixed with many different bulking agents including cannabis products, antiretroviral drugs, as well as other materials.

Sobekwa documents their journey, capturing their daily activities and chores, whilst part two of his project is redemptive, focusing on rehab and introspection.

Scottish born, New York based photographer Graham MacIndoe photographed himself during the years he was addicted to heroin. He’d place a cheap digital camera on a table or bookshelf, set the self-timer to take a photo every so often, then turn his attention to the rituals of his habit.
