The exhibition, ‘Uncontained: Opening the Community Arts Project Archive’, was accompanied by a book of the same title, and was the outcome of a writing project on the CAP Print Collection, initiated by the CHR. Edited by Heidi Grunebaum and Emile Maurice, the book comprises contributions by 31 authors from universities, cultural organisations and NGOs. Each author was invited to write a ‘thought-piece’ on a particular set of artworks from the CAP Print Collection. The texts offer a variety of approaches and perspectives and, in different ways, are all contributions to re-vitalising the question of the human condition that remains at the heart of current-day post-apartheid society.
