| Sumario: | China and Africa have long shared a history of contact points shaped by global political forces, particularly from the time of colonialism, through to the Cold War. With China's current rise, its presence in Africa has expanded, leading to significant economic, geopolitical and cultural shifts. While issues such as trade, aid and development have received much attention, Chinese and African encounters through the lens of the visual arts and material culture is a neglected field. Visualising China in Southern Africa: Biography, Circulation, Transgression is a groundbreaking volume that addresses this deficit through an engagement with the work of contemporary African and Chinese artists while analysing the broader material production that prefigures the current relationship. The essays are wide-ranging in their analysis of ceramics, photography, painting, etching, sculpture, film, performance, postcards, stamp covers, installations, political posters, cartoons and architecture. Among the artists, photographers, filmmakers, curators and collectors represented in this volume are Stary Mwaba, Hua Jiming, Anawana Haloba, Kristin NG-Yang, Eugene Hön, Marcus Neustetter, Dan Halter, Gerald Machona, Kudzanai Chiurai, Moffat Takadiwa, William Kentridge, Brett Murray, Diane Victor, the Chinese Camera Club of South Africa, Mark Lewis, Kok Nam, Henion Han, Wu Jing, Zapiro and Shengkai Wu. |
