These works and posters were produced during a critical moment of apartheid repression. A decade where Southern Africa was in an undisclosed civil war and artists utilized their skills as a form of resistance and expression of their trauma.
The use of printed medium, woodblock, scraper-board, linocut, pencil,and ball-point pen were put to use as social commentary and to disseminate information in a time before the internet.
As an archival show, the visual lens is not centered around aesthetics. The viewer is invited to participate in the activation of these memories, to think about our collective humanity and what is at stake If we disregard each other?
