Theme 3: Socio-political art - including resistance art
of the 1970s and 1980s
Bester expresses his intentions ........
"What I try to get behind is why it is so difficult for people to change from their old ways. It hasn't worked out the way I imagined. People who thought they were superior before haven't really changed. I try to find out through studying history what gives people the right to think that way. I try to find a solution, not to be disappointed, to reach an understanding." (ArtThrob)
