And we also had an interview with Mario Pissarra from the Africa South Art Initiative. Their aim is to promote a vision of post-colonial, post-apartheid transformation that privileges critical and constructive engagement between artists and associated professionals and institutions on the African continent. They are currently running an exhibition called ReCenter at Look-Out Hill in Khayelitsha. The exhibition features the following artists: Ernestine White, Donovan Ward, Mario Pissarra, Xolile Mtakatya, Randolph Hartzenberg, Garth Erasmus and Gerry Dixon.
