Description
Good Hope brings together fragments of history and art in a powerful exploration of colonialism and its ongoing impact. Carla Liesching's work is rooted in her birthplace, the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, a location at the heart of Empire and now a site of resistance.
The book weaves together documentary prose, personal essays, found photographs, and archival materials from sources such as trade journals, tourist pamphlets, and family albums. This unique assemblage offers an intimate examination of White supremacist settler-colonialism in the present, while also questioning the ethics and politics involved in collecting, preserving, and naming.
Through its cumulative layers of text and image, Good Hope challenges our understanding of the past and its ongoing influence on our world today. This is a critical and thought-provoking work that invites readers to consider their relationship with history, art, and the natural world.
