Abstract

<jats:p>This publication is an edited scholarly volume that unites interdisciplinary perspectives on visual redress in African contexts, examining how visual and artistic practices are used to contest, heal, and reimagine postcolonial and post-apartheid spaces. The work engages both theoretical frameworks and case studies, making it relevant to academics, curators, artists, heritage professionals, and cultural workers. This interdisciplinary volume brings together contributors from across the continent and beyond, offering case studies and critical reflections that foreground the role of visual culture, change, and redress in processes of social transformation. Whether through reimagining monuments, curating counter-narratives, or engaging in artistic interventions, this book reveals how the visual can serve as both a site of trauma and a tool for healing, justice, and redress. This is expressed through the various voices, multifaceted scholarly foci, and experience-based reflections. A richly illustrated publication, it is an essential resource for scholars, artists, curators, and cultural practitioners engaged in visual culture, decolonial studies, African heritage, and contemporary art. As it reflects societal transformation and change-making processes, it is also well-positioned to guide various role-players who are directly involved in societal engagement and transformation.</jats:p>
