This is the final instalment of this podcast and we are speaking about making great work. Is there a so-called “secret sauce” that an artist can work to? Or it is more mystical and magical?
We are talking to 2017 Standard Bank Young Artist for Visual Art, Beth Diane Armstrong, and Ashraf Jamal - academic, writer and cultural theorist whose most recent books include In the World: Essays on Contemporary South African Art (published in 2017) and its follow up STRANGE CARGO: Essay's on Art (published in 2022).
