Haroon Gunn-Salie and Gerald Machona on The Art of Disruptions at Iziko SANG

The Art of Disruptions marks milestones in the history of South Africa: the 60th anniversary of the 1956 Women’s March to Pretoria against pass laws, the declaration of District Six as a whites-only area in 1966, the 40th anniversary of the 1976 youth protests and the 1986 declaration of a state of emergency. The exhibition highlights strategies artists have employed in the current milieu to deal with and comment on the various issues that plague our society; issues like racism, sexism, homophobia, inequality and privilege, migration and environmental degradation. Artists included are Gerald Machona and Haroon Gunn-Salie. At the Iziko South African National Gallery until 23 October.
