Drawing Across Lines of Colour

Using satire to confront the country’s enduring racial divides, Drawing Across Lines of Colour delves into the creative art worlds of a group of South African artists from diverse backgrounds.

Yet, how can you challenge a narrative when you are an integral part of it yourself?
