Memory and Magic – Contemporary Art of the !Xun & Khwe –

“This contemporary art of the San people is unique because it emerges from a short phase of transition from the ancient culture – the rock art, the oral history, the old traditions, their magical world – to the modern, globalised world of media communication and formal education. ‘The old stories are quiet,’ a San artist lamented, mourning the gradual loss of his cultural heritage and traditions.

Memory and Magic is dedicated to the appreciation of the vibrant art of the San.”
