How does South Africa deal with public art from its years of
colonialism and apartheid? How do new monuments address fraught
histories and commemorate heroes of the struggle? Across South
Africa, statues commemorating figures such as Cecil Rhodes have
provoked heated protests, while new works commemorating icons of
the liberation struggle have also sometimes proved contentious. In
this lively volume, Kim Miller, Brenda Schmahmann and an
international group of contributors explore how works in the public
domain in South Africa serve as a forum in which
important debates about race, gender,
identity and nationhood play out. Examining statues and
memorials as well as performance, billboards, and other temporal
modes of communication, the authors of these essays consider the
implications of not only the exposure, but also erasure of events
and icons from the public domain. Revealing how public visual
expressions articulate histories and memories, they explore how
such works may serve as a forum in which tensions surrounding race,
gender, identity, or nationhood play out.
