Braamfontein and the Nelson Mandela Bridge: Stitching the City Back Together
- Constitution Hill: From Prison to Constitution: On a single Johannesburg ridge, a republic's prison became the home of the nation's highest court, built from the very bricks that once caged the powerless. This walk reads that turn, from ramparts to courtroom to the city stitching itself back together.
- Soweto: The Road to Freedom: Read Soweto as a single sentence about freedom, from the one street that raised two Nobel Peace laureates to the open square in Kliptown where a free country was first written down.
