Course Description:
In this course , we will track major developments and changes in South African art and media during the Apartheid era (1948 - 1994) and after (1994 - present). The point of this broad historical perspective is not so much to provide a condensed history of South African art and media , as it is to explore the relationship between South Africa’s turbulent soci o - political landscape and its v isual culture. In particular, we aim to explore the notion of collective national identities as they manifested and still manifest in art and visua l culture. The course deals with the concurrent rise of English, Afrikaner and African nationalism in the early 20 th century, and the role of visual culture in the construc tion of these competing identities.
