Dunywa - New Media and Gender Stereotypes

But is this Art? 

This question is often overheard in a gallery in South Africa showing New Media like Performance Art. It is however not a new medium overseas and we can look at examples like Joseph Beuys' How to explain Pictures to a Dead Hare 1965 (link) to see this. 

Now use your analysis skills to answer this perplexing question about Dunywa's work.

Look at the ARTICLE, and then create your own info-graphic. 
Ask yourself ..... "Would this piece have been as effective as a painting or a sculpture?"

This piece by Dunywa could work for a number of Matric themes viz:

• Post-democratic Identity - issues of ethnicity
• Gender Issues - gender stereotyping
• New Media - Performance Art

We will develop a chart for purposes of revision so you can decide which pieces to use for which themes.
