Zantsi is a Cape Town born and based multidisciplinary mixed media contemporary artist. The intention of the artworks is to raise questions, open discussions, and provide answers. The question raised by this exhibition is about African culture and its traditions. How colonization has destroyed our traditional practices and let us misinterpret and be misinformed about our own identity, letting us glorify and assimilate to their ways. Zantsi critiques the use of Western elements in traditional ceremonies, throwing into relief questions about where and how culture and traditions are formed. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eSize: 34.5\" x 25.5\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin Projects","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43476093305089,"sku":"MTP008","price":1199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/7377\/0416\/products\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-14-at-12.22.02-PM-website_list.jpg?v=1665772968","url":"https:\/\/roam-a-xtina-parks-gallery.myshopify.com\/products\/transkei-iv","provider":"ROAM A Xtina Parks Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
