摘要
在这篇文章中,我研究了一种新的人文主义可以帮助南非当代艺术家使他们的作品与全球观众相关的方式。遵循Chielozona Eze(南非种族、非殖民化和全球公民)的思想。罗切斯特:罗切斯特大学出版社,2018),我认为通过建立在包容和开放的基础上的世界主义心态,艺术的非殖民化是可能的。埃兹关于同理心的世界主义和全球公民的思想回应了对新社会的需求,新社会的特征是所有人团结一致,不分种族、阶级、性别或其他差异。然而,这种对全球公民身份的呼吁并不是以牺牲文化特殊性为代价的,这种特殊性承认(南非)是一个知识创造的场所。2017年路易威登基金会(foundation Louis Vuitton)在巴黎举办的时装秀,以及劳伦斯·莱莫阿纳(Lawrence Lemaoana)在那里展出的作品,支持了我的观点。他的刺绣作品是一个例子,说明年轻的黑人艺术家可以通过对现实和全球关注开放的方式进入全球艺术世界,抛弃与现代不相容的传统。我认为Lemaoana已经成功地将他的艺术去殖民化,成为一个拥有世界主义思维的世界公民,他的艺术体现了我们人类的同一性。
The Contemporary South African Artist as Global Citizen
Abstract In this article I investigate the ways in which a new humanism can assist contemporary artists in South Africa in making their work relevant to a global audience. Following the ideas of Chielozona Eze (Race, Decolonization, and Global Citizenship in South Africa. Rochester: University of Rochester Press, 2018), I argue that decolonisation in art is possible through a cosmopolitan mindset built on inclusion and openness to otherness. Eze's ideas on empathetic cosmopolitanism and global citizenship respond to the need for a new society marked by solidarity with all people, regardless of race, class, gender, or other markers of difference. However, this call for global citizenship does not come at the cost of cultural specificity, which acknowledges (South) Africa as a site of knowledge creation. My argument is supported by an examination of the 2017 Fondation Louis Vuitton show in Paris and the work of Lawrence Lemaoana exhibited there. His embroidered works serve as an example of the ways in which young black artists can access the global art world through being open to reality and to global concerns, leaving behind tradition which is incompatible with modernity. I state that Lemaoana has managed to decolonise his art to become a global citizen with a cosmopolitan mindset, and whose art exemplifies sameness in our humanity.
