 Performing the After Math (2) |
Frantz Fanon in his 1952 Black Skin White Masks uses the term ‘black neurosis’ to broadly refer to the psychological effects of racial oppression. Within the South African context as with many other analogous contexts, personal histories are undeniably engrained with discrimination and its consequent wounding in one form or another. The After Math project is an ongoing art intervention which explores art as socio-political research and social engagement focussing on Fanon’s concept of ‘black neurosis’. The project aims to generate dialogue around a discrimination-wounding-aftermath theme through the use of a range of explorative methodologies i.e. abstract sculptural installations, animated video work and live performance.
