I use the skin as a surface/bound- ary for patterning, mapping and fragmenting. Through exploring notions of masquerade I am creating my own mythological language, which I use to deconstruct history and identity. The reconstructed images negotiate the dichotomy between the civilized self and the instinctive, untamed self. I examine notions of displacement and belonging to evoke a sense of unease and disconnectedness.

These experiences enrich me personally thus translating emotions and experiences, be it longing, desire, disappointment, love, sorrow, through the capturing of images and emotions. By creating digitally altered photos, snap shots, photo etching, medium format or super 8mm film, I endeavor to recall a sense of universality in the diverse cultures I experience by creating static or moving images . From microcosm to macrocosm, from the individual to the collec- tive, my work takes the shape of a journal and is about bridging the gaps between my personal journey influenced by the past, yet set in my 21st century.

  • Objecting to Apartheid
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by South East Academic Libraries System (SEALS) OBJECTING TO APARTHEID: THE HISTORY OF THE END CONSCRIPTION CAMPAIGN By DAVID JONES Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS In the subject HISTORY At the UNIVERSITY OF FORT HARE SUPERVISOR: PROFESSOR GARY MINKLEY JANUARY 2013 I, David Jones, student number 200603420, hereby declare that I am fully aware of the University of Fort Hare’s policy on plagiarism and I have taken every precaution to comply with the regulations. Signature…………………………………………………………… Abstract This dissertation explores the history of the End Conscription Campaign (ECC) and evaluates its contribution to the struggle against apartheid. The ECC mobilised white opposition to apartheid by focussing on the role of the military in perpetuating white rule. By identifying conscription as the price paid by white South Africans for their continued political dominance, the ECC discovered a point of resistance within apartheid discourse around which white opposition could converge. The ECC challenged the discursive constructs of apartheid on many levels, going beyond mere criticism to the active modeling of alternatives. It played an important role in countering the intense propaganda to which all white South Africans were subject to ensure their loyalty, and in revealing the true nature of the conflict in the country. It articulated the dis-ease experienced by many who were alienated by the dominant culture of conformity, sexism, racism and homophobia. By educating, challenging and empowering white citizens to question the role of the military and, increasingly, to resist conscription it weakened the apartheid state thus adding an important component to the many pressures brought to bear on it which, in their combination, resulted in its demise.

  • Visual Century
    Volume four: 1990–2007 Edited by Thembinkosi Goniwe, Mario Pissarra and Mandisi Majavu VISUAL CENTURY South African Art in Context The end of the Cold War and subsequent rise of globalisation, along with the advent of democracy in South Africa, introduced new social and political orders, with profound implicatio ns for South African artists. This was a time when the persistence of economic inequalities and con icts within and beyond national borders constantly militated against an unbridled celebration of ‘freedom’. This volume critically addresses some of the most notable developments and visible trends in post-apartheid South African art. These include South Africa’s entry into the internationa l art world, its struggle to address its past, and artists’ persistent and often provocative preoccupations with individual and collective identity. The widespread and often unsettling representation of the human body, as well as animal forms, along with the steady increase of new technologies and the development of new forms of public art, are also discussed. While much of the art of the period is open-ended and non-didactic, the persistence of engagement with socially responsive themes questions the reductive binary between resistan ce and post-apartheid art that has come to dominate accounts of artistic production before and after South Africa’s democratic election.

  • DAC Kills NAC's Funding Ability
    BUSINESS MARCH 2010 | E-mail: [email protected] | Member of the Global Art Information GroupART DAC kills NAC’s funding ability Arts funding is now greatly compromised “The fact that a R14 million NAC budget equates to only R 2 million for individual arts and cultural initiatives suggests that over 85% of the NAC budget is being used elsewhere, presum- ably for paying fat cat salaries. While it’s easy to express distaste for the Department’s budget cuts, one also can’t help wondering what the NAC is doing with the money it does have” The Department of Arts and Culture has cut the National Arts Council budget in half for the 2010/2011 financial year, leaving only R 14 million in the NAC budget. Furthermore, the NAC has calculated that this will leave only R 2 million across all provinces and all 7 disciplines (including film, theatre, music and visual arts). The NAC will thus only be having one funding call this year, and, as anyone who has organised a large-scale project, event or exhibi- tion will attest, R 2 million is close on what one large-scale cultural project requires, an amount now intended to serve all proposals across the country. The Chairperson of the NAC, Adv. Brenda Madumise exclaimed that “We are of course disappointed at this reduction to the NAC and the sectors we support, and even more distressed by the painful consequences that this will automatically have for our artists.” She went on to say that “the NAC will continue to make a strong case to government on behalf of the creative industries during the Council’s remaining term of office.

My joburg will take in a range of art from Johannesburg, with particular emphasis on young artists who have yet to come to public attention in France. Johannesburg or Joburg (affectionately termed Jozi by some) has a population of 6 million. More than 2.5 million people live in Soweto alone, the best-known of the city's townships. It is, to quote the historian and political scientist Achille Mbembe, an "elusive metropolis". Johannesburg has become home to a thriving community of painters, photographers, sculptors and video artists whose work describes a city in the throes of change with a complex social, political and urban history. My joburg sets out to capture certain facets of this.
