Working across painting, collage, installation, and video, Siopis explores themes of history, memory, identity, and the personal and political landscapes of post-apartheid South Africa. Her richly layered works draw on found materials and evocative imagery to interrogate issues of trauma, sexuality, and transformation. Accompanied by essays from leading scholars and curators, this volume offers insightful perspectives on a career spanning over three decades.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sancho's Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53311064375635,"sku":null,"price":275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/5403\/5283\/files\/SIGNED-Penny-Siopis-KATHRYN-SMITH-Deluxe-Limited-Suedel-Edition-ART-South-Africa_26.webp?v=1774360526","url":"https:\/\/sanchosrarebooks.co.uk\/products\/penny-siopis-edited-by-kathryn-smith-first-limited-edition-signed-deluxe-suedel-2005","provider":"Sancho's Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
