When talking about post-Apartheid South Africa we have to speak about the how the lack of complete transformation has led to a fragile unequal society between racial/class groups. In a recent study by the world bank group they found that South Africa is the most economically unequal country and that racial inequality is one of the prominent factors behind this. With ‘An Incomplete Transition’ I used this harmonically ambiguous piano ostinato to create the expectation of something promised, but never being delivered.
Social commentator Dr Leonard Martin talking about abolishing notions of race to complete the transformation process.
“Racialism is a deep decease in our social political fabric; and for the next generations, the responsibility of our leaders in this generation is to clear the ground in order for a healthy humanity to take place. To redesign, reconfigure our social space in order for that equality and also human self-respect to begin to grow again”
