Public Art in South Africa synopsis

How does South Africa deal with public art from the years of colonialism and apartheid? How do new monuments address a preserved history and commemorate the heroes of the struggle? In South Africa, sculptures commemorating characters such as Cecil Rhodes have sparked heated protests, while new works reviving the icons of the liberation struggle have sometimes proved controversial. In this dynamic volume, Kim Miller, Brenda Shamahman, and an international group of contributors look for statues, memorials plus performance, billboards and other means of temporal communication, taking into account the effects not only on exposure but also erase the events and symbols of the domain General.

He unveiled how public expressions reflect dates and memories and explore how such actions can serve as a forum in which tensions surrounding race, sex, identity or nationalism are practiced.
