A Country Imagined

Jozi (1x8)

Fecha de emisión: Jun 13, 2010

Unlike the classically beautiful natural landscapes of many other parts of the country, Johnny Clegg explores the particular, peculiar beauty of the City of Gold – of eGoli – of Johannesburg. A constructed city of the imagination, that builds and rebuilds above as much as it burrows and tunnels below; that builds forests where only veld should naturally grow, and that garners shiny minerals when only yellow dust is evident, the art that Jozi has born is imbued with a comparable energy: bold, gutsy, urban and forthright. Meet artists David Koloane, Senzeni Marasela, William Kentridge, Kudzanai Chiurai, Anton Kannemeyer and Stephen Hobbs as they take Johnny on an urban voyage of discovery.
