Abstract

In my extended essay I will be dealing with Jackson Hlungwani and Lucas Sithole. Theirs is the creative art of the marginalised, dispossessed, displaced and disadvantaged. It is an art that has endeavoured to respond to the reality of African culture and its identity which was denied the black nation, as a consequence of appropriation by European Colonialism. Colonialism disempowered blacks economically and this led to them losing an African identity. The art of Hlungwani and Sithole strove to restore and revive the lost and neglected African tradition, identity and pride.
