"The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed." -- Steve Biko
Imprisoned himself under apartheid for loitering, the artist Willie Bester memorializes the history of harassment and oppression in South Africa's black settlements. The Notorious Green Car's mesh window screen recalls police vehicles used to patrol and terrorize black settlements. Bester created this large-scale, bright conceptual work to keep the memory of such oppression alive. |
