Her current project, “Therapeutic Commodities: Apartheid, Trauma and Visual Culture in the New South Africa,” examines the representation and commodification of traumatic memory in South African visual culture with an emphasis on two areas of visual culture: feature and documentary films about individuals victimized by the apartheid state and their public appearance before the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and multi-media exhibitions in central Johannesburg that document human rights abuses in the city’s most infamous prison complex closely associated with state-sponsored violence, the exhibitions transform one of South Africa’s most notorious places of racial oppression into a site of public remembrance of traumatic violence.
