Abstracts

Museums are important sites of national cultural output, collective memory making, and the construction of national narratives. Contemporary South Africa is a particularly interesting place to study these processes. With the demise of apartheid, South Africa faces the difficult challenge of creating a new national identity that incorporates an examination of past oppression, yet leaves the way open for building a national identity that incorporates all its diverse groups. While social problems such as poverty, racial inequalities, disease and unemployment still remain and need to be addressed within South Africa, the museums as well as art itself can and should be treated as an outlet to reveal, question and resolve many important issues. The museums reviewed below, such as the South African National Gallery – SANG in Cape Town and the Museum Africa, Johannesburg Art Gallery – JAG, or the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg and Art Gallery all make important contributions to this process.
