Description: "Liberated Voices highlights major trends in contemporary artistic practice in South Africa, bringing together a cross-section of paintings, sculptures, installations, photographs, and videos created since 1994. The exhibition focuses on young artists who represent the diversity of the New South Africa. Through both their art and words, the artists provide compelling insight into the dynamic transitional period in the immediate wake of Apartheid. These works also reflect on the changing political situation and the impact of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Liberated Voices shows that art can provide a vehicle for confrontations with personal histories as well as a source for understanding and reconciliation."--BOOK JACKET.
