- Description
- Did freedom come to South Africa in 1994? Should it be marked and set in time, or is it a fragile process, an ambition and a becoming? Do we see ourselves coming closer to this ideal, or desperately receding from it as an invisible rip current pulls us away? To think of freedom as a given, a day in the year or a landmark on the horizon is to neglect that liberty from bondage and oppression, in all its disastrous and fatidic forms requires vigilance, nurturing and a spirit of insatiable demand. When our freedom becomes commodified, transformed into a mark on annual calendars, a mere commemoration; something we think have obtained and cannot possibly stand to loose, we are all in for trouble.
