Barbara Tyrrell donated 118 pieces of beadwork to the CCAC in 2009, gathered during her portrait work across Southern Africa. These items, some gifted and others acquired, reflect diverse cultural identities and further speak to change and continuity in dress, belief, and adaptation—interrogating the constitutional right to dignity, identity, and cultural expression in the present.
