n De Arte - Artist Proof Studio : twenty years of responding to South African transformation imperatives : research

Abstract

Artist Proof Studio (APS), a community printmaking studio in Johannesburg, was founded twenty years ago as a response to the challenge of building democracy in post-apartheid South Africa. APS has used multiple strategies to shape the ways in which artists can discover their own capacities as creative voices for change, and the roles artists can assume as agents of change and active participants in the South African democracy.
