Description:
What was it like to grow up ‘white’ in a police state founded in racism?How were the children of the dominant race treated by their parents, teachers, even preachers? What special privileges did they have? What were the home rules and the state laws? How were they expected to behave towards the Bantu, the native Africans? Artist Alan Bell grew up in the age of Apartheid in South Africa and has made a series of paintings and drawings to illuminate the issues that separated and branded both ‘white’ and ‘black’ people with an unendurable stigma.Alan’s experience growing into manhood in Apartheid provides an insider’s perspective of the artistic works of many South African artists on both sides of the racial divide. Armed with images of his own creation, Alan reveals the power of art as a social mirror..
