Desi Liversage, Bloodlines and Bloodstains

Dunedin School of Art. (It’s super close to campus. Another reason to procrastinate!)
Desi Liversage uses the medium of textiles to express and expose the darker colonial heritage of South Africa during the second Boer war. This installation was inspired by Liversage’s grandmother’s experiences as a child in a concentration camp and Liversage also references her own cultural identity by rendering the stories passed down to her (through her great-grandmother) on intricately made quilts.
