Memory and Magic, Contemporary Art of the !Xun and Khwe

This contemporary art of the San people emerged from a short phase of transition from the ancient culture – the rock art, the oral history, the old traditions, their `magical` world – to the modern, globalised world of media communication and formal education. “The old stories are quiet,” a San artist lamented, mourning the gradual loss of his cultural heritage and traditions.
