ArtScope Mag's review online just now: "Post Its No. 1: South Africa seems to have elicited public attention in ways that few exhibitions to date have... Bev Butkow’s figures with fists in the air embody the power of the female form — galvanized by their memories of the past and the iconic ways that politics and social change can be intensively personal."

BBC, Al Jazeera & Reuters to Feature Post Its No. 1: Post-apartheid | Postcolonial. This supplements coverage in Mail and Guardian and other national media. When you ask if apartheid and colonialism are *really* through and done and 11 of South Africa's most prominent & socially engaged artists answer, the world takes notice.

Mabulu's previous artworks include a scene where Zuma and the Russian Bear tag team a black woman and the famous Umshini Wam, exposing the president's ge****ls... this one's got some next level shock value though.

Tomorrow at 6:00pm at Constitution Hill is a public dialogue on Post Its No. 1: Post-apartheid | Postcolonial. Come share your views on this exhibition.

13/07/2016

Amidst massive public and media attention to the Post Its No. 1 exhibition and the social and political critiques some of our artists included in their depictions of 'post'-apartheid life, today featured a public walkabout, and tomorrow, with Constitution Hill Museum's assistance, a public dialogue about the exhibition is scheduled for 6:00 pm. Co-curator Sasuke Madosi and I are elated at the attention this exhibition's receiving - and we've rejected calls to censor some of the more controversial artists' depictions of post-apartheid life. For us, it's valuable for the exhibition to represent the range of attitudes of South Africa's most important artists as they respond with their work to the phrase that South Africa is "post" apartheid and "post" colonial.
