Shield and Spear

In the diverse and vibrant world of South African art, a revolution is brewing. From painted caricatures of the president to photography exposing hate crimes, and from cutting-edge fashion to music that challenges the status quo, artists are pushing the boundaries of freedom of expression. But as they strive to make their voices heard, they face resistance and even threats from those who seek to silence them. Shield and Spear takes you on an exuberant journey through the contradictions of this troubled land, where art and identity are inextricably linked, and where the struggle for creative freedom is a reflection of the deeper struggles of a nation still grappling with its past.
