- W1966809011 abstract "CMYK Page 64 09652_20705064 As Xhosa-speaking artists working with clay1 we, Gcinikhaya Dase and Siziwe Sotewu (Fig. 1), are developing a visual narrative style to reflect upon our lived experience and create sequential artworks expressing ideas about aspects of our cultural heritage2 in contemporary South Africa. We focus on a regional aspect of southern African culture to look for and comment upon its intrinsic value, and do not intend an essentialization3 or valorization of Xhosaspeakers’ experiences and dilemmas at the expense of South Africans from differing backgrounds. We are not sitting back feeling satisfied, but have made enquiries into own backgrounds, which indeed are part of a greater social picture, and thereby have become engaged in looking for what Achille Mbembe calls “a transformative relation with our past as a condition sine qua non of our control over our own future” (Holler 2002:2). We were both born in the Eastern Cape and both speak Xhosa, and we also share a hope that by bringing our thoughts and artworks into a public arena—through exhibitions with accompanying text,4 by being available for discussions, and now by writing this article—ordinary people may be encouraged to express their own ideas about identity and aspects of what goes into making individuals who they are. Our focus on aspects of Xhosa-speakers’ cultural heritage by no means constitutes a yearning for lost roots. We are part of contemporary society and cannot turn back the clock, nor are our visual and verbal statements neutral acts. By publicly claiming aspects of South African life and commenting on them, we raise historically disempowered voices and speak (Spivak 1988), thereby becoming part of an ongoing political movement toward social transformation based on equality and exchange of knowledge as one way of redressing past misunderstandings, misrepreCultural Heritage in the Work of Two Xhosa-speaking Ceramic Artists" @default.
