South Africa is currently on level two of its lockdown enforced to combat the spread of Covid-19. During level two, all "economic activity" is allowed, but partying and clubbing are still out of the picture as gatherings of more than 50 people are still understandably prohibited.

South African multimedia storytellerAndy Mkosi's photo essay Mid-Groove consists of monochrome images she made in 2019 of Joburg's party scene before the pandemic hit. South Africans "groove" hard, and the photo essay shows people in all stages of groove and captures artists on stage and deejays in their booths.

"Mid-Groove aims to document cultural spaces where South African meet to have fun and party. When attending events or club scenes, my mission is to find quiet moments in those busy spaces," says Mkosi.

"These are images made at events and club spaces in Johannesburg. They largely focus on the music and party scene of the city. The images were made with consideration of women and the LGBTQI community and how they are represented. They tell of the characters who are there to enjoy the music and the energy at the spaces. And purely presents beautiful moments mid-mgroovo."
