| dcterms.abstract | Areas of the world that are facing hardships of all kinds bare the same signature that is visible to all: a dilapidated infrastructure. A first step in improving the areas that are struggling is to give the citizens something to be proud of when they look out of their windows. The work of South African street artist Faith47 is the kind of art that can provide such pride and also hope for a better future. Using Faith47's native country, I am proposing a socialist regime of art to both physically and emotionally improve the areas and citizens who suffer each and every day. In this thesis I will elaborate on the work of Faith47 as she juxtaposes awe-inspiring characters and elegant animalistic creatures with, historical contexts that still ravish South Africa today. I will also document her work as a socialist beneficiary striding to make the world a better place for all through art. | |
