Co-editor of ZAM magazine Bart Luirink sits down with Maia Matches to discuss the development of South African visual art during apartheid.
Drawing the Change is a livestream event of a conversation that took place at the ZAM headquarters in Amsterdam on January 28th, 2022. It was held in anticipation of the annual Mandela lecture - #ImagineMandela - hosted at the International Theater of Amsterdam on February 6th, 2022.
