Her bricolage pieces incorporate items that are pregnant with meaning in the context of South African history. they examine the segregation and colonialism of the Apartheid era. Each item surrounding the image in this piece, Hairossie, seems to have its own story to tell. You can find out more about her HERE.
Bongoy is a Congolese artist whose work, like Conradie's, uses discared or found items. His work is, entirely different in style and form to Conradie's. His work uses discarded rubber. These wall pieces are only part of this picture. He incorporates these strips in figures and tapestries exploring human behavior--especially related to migration.
