Book Description
Beginning with the struggle revolving around the ideas that surround public art in South Africa, this book aims to create a critical and thoughtful space in which to consider film, photography, and literature related to migration on the African continent. Addressing the hard social realities and the untransformed landscape of apartheid through art, this anthology moves on from feet, physicality, and shoes to real and imagined movements, using invented maps, possible routes, dreams, and ideas about the future. This unique book forces readers to reconsider space from various perspectives.
