Centered around the relationship between art and political
transformation. From Charlotte Bronte and Virginia Woolf, to
Marlene van Niekerk and William Kentridge, artists and
intellectuals have tried to address the question: How to deal with
the legacy of exclusion and oppression? Via substantive works of
art, this book examines some of the answers that have emerged to
this question, to show how art can put into motion something new
and how it can transform social and cultural relations in a
sustainable way. In this way, art can function as an effective form
of cultural critique. In the course of this book, a range of
artworks are examined, through a postcolonial and feminist lens, in
which revolt-both as a theme and as a medium-specific technique
or/as critique -is made visible. Time and time again, revolt takes
the form of a slow and thorough working through of the position of
the individual in relation to her history and her contemporary
geopolitical circumstances. It thus becomes evident that renewal
and transformation in art and society are most successful when they
proceed according to the method of self-reflexive cultural
critique; when they do not present themselves as revolution,
radical breaks with the past, but rather as processes of revolt in
which knowledge of the past is investigated, complemented,
corrected, and bent to a new collective will.
