Mabaso's 'Of Refusal, Creation and Assertion' approaches the artist's oeuvre as a project beyond decoloniality. Her emphasis is not on the consequences of the encounter with the colonial other but Ka Zenzile's affirmation of Africanist epistemes – the ways in which he asserts 'enduring, localised ways of being'. Makhubu's 'Akukho Muzi Ungathunqi Ntuthu – Local Knowledge as Creative Rebellion' observes Ka Zenzile’s relationship with institutions and bureaucratised knowledge practices. Using the motif of the inverted house, probing the dividing line recurrent in Ka Zenzile’s figurative and non-figurative creations, she observes the role his work plays in the battle between incommensurability and compatibility. For Malatsie, Ka Zenzile’s process is as yielding as the final object. She makes a comparison to fellow Eastern Cape native, jazz musician Johnny Dyani. She concentrates on how both artists 'go latela muṱhala', following traces and fragments rooted in indigenous practices to form constellations that motivate them to push beyond the temptation to be legible to an other. In both artists she identifies a commitment to helping others upend myopic paradigms 'even if that means that we become uncertain and are a people in perpetual pursuit'.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003eIn a 2018 conversation with Lois Anguria, Ka Zenzile stated, 'For me it was just to throw clues in my art and in my writing, and whoever is sensitive enough to perceive these clues, and willing to let go of what they know, can begin to engage with my work.'\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eUhambo luyazilawula\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a collation of such visual and textual clues.

Forced into indentured labour relations in the late 19th century, the Ndebele survived both the dehumanising impact of this experience and the devastating realities of the apartheid era by repeatedly renewing their commitment to customs and values that have remained intact today. Although best known for their remarkable mural art tradition, the Ndebele also wear distinctive beadwork garments on special occasions. In \u003cstrong\u003eAma Ndebele\u003c\/strong\u003e, Peter Magubane celebrates these arts and, through them, the women who have dedicated their lives to upholding Ndebele traditions. While draws attention to the work of talented muralists like Esther Nostokana Mahlangu and Francina Danisile Ndimande, he also documents the day-to-day activities of ordinary people, and their extraordinary dedication to upholding the rituals and rites of passage that mark important transitions in their lives. Magubane's detailed record of these ceremonies, including male circumcision practices and coming-of-age ceremonies, captures the lived experience and emotional responses of initiates and their families. Complementing these intimate moments are photographs which portray the political violence that engulfed present-day Mpumalanga in the 1980s and the ongoing realities of migrant labour.

In this first book, focusing on graphics produced between 1974 and 1990, Siebrits presents the artist’s earliest forays into linocut, etching and monotype printing, to name but a few. While for many artists printmaking is informed by their work in what have historically been considered more valuable media such as painting and drawing, Siebrits highlights that Kentridge’s process has been quite the opposite. This intensive look at Kentridge first and foremost as a printmaker is thus crucial for a comprehensive understanding of his diverse and influential œuvre. The chronology of the prints and posters helps re-establish many lost and obscure tributaries that will be invaluable to those interested in the building blocks of Kentridge’s work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVol. 1.1 Final States\u003cbr\u003eVol. 1.2 Plate Progessions and Author’s Notes\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Kentridge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46667811848346,"sku":"11795","price":5480.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0350\/5704\/1545\/files\/51qFyjBsn0L-_SL1500.jpg?v=1760541847"},{"product_id":"sing-for-our-execution","title":"Sing for Our Execution","description":"\u003cp class=\"h3 mt-5\"\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"name\"\u003eSing for our execution; poems and woodcuts by Wopko Jensma. \u003c\/span\u003eJohannesburg, OPHIR\/RAVAN, Distributed by Spro-cas Publications, 1973\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wopko Jensma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46699423498394,"sku":"12573","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0350\/5704\/1545\/files\/SKM_C55825102314210.jpg?v=1761299410"},{"product_id":"a-lasting-impression-the-robert-hodgins-print-archive","title":"A LASTING IMPRESSION, the Robert Hodgins print archive","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA Lasting Impression: The Robert Hodgins print Archive is a 284 page lavishly illustrated full-colour catalogue that accompanied the exhibition at Wits Art Museum in 2013.
