Africa- living in transition

Lauryn Arnott was born in Zambia and migrated with her pareant at the age of 14 to South Africa - these drawings were her response to living during a challenging period of history

 Arnott belonged to a generation of African artists challenged by a questioning of Western artistic monopoly and the theoretical debates of post-colonialism, cross- cultural identities and globalization.  Given these thematic trajectories, she drew upon her intercultural experiences to explore notions of mobility and transformation that cut across boundaries of culture, history and politics.
