Siyakha Mguni (University of Cape Town) – Connecting the cave and the studio: recentring pre-colonial indigenous knowledge and rock art within a Fine Art school in southern Africa
What is the role of an art school in post-apartheid South Africa? In a context marked by enduring post-colonial complexities, a forward-looking art school must be more than a site for personal expression: it should foster a pedagogy aimed at social and political transformation. This implies rethinking inherited ideas about art, its sources, transmission, and purposes. Like education, art is never neutral; it can reproduce oppression or foster liberation, and a modern art school must navigate this tension carefully.
