“Art is a form of individual self-expression, where everyone can have a voice. As long as art is open and free of legislation, and as long as viewers can look at art without prejudice, I think there is a natural connection between art and human rights.” – Anne Sassoon (CCAC artist)
Conservation Advocacy
The CCAC curatorial team advocates for conservation by sharing information that allows artists to participate in the practice and creating a consciousness around the longevity of the materials used in their artworks.
Artist interviews enrich the interpretation of artworks by gathering information about how, when and why and by whom works in the CCAC were made and collected.
“People that come to the Constitutional Court meet art with an open mind to be influenced by it. The world is looking at us making a success of what we do here and how we deal with apartheid.” – Stefan Blom (CCAC artist)
