[First Published on Art Attack November 15, 2011]

In this episode, the Sarahs visit Rudzani Nemasetoni’s modern triptych Urban Testaments I, II and III at the Smithsonian’s African Art Museum. In this mixed media piece, the South African artist combines images of his father’s pass book, a remnant of Apartheid, with salvaged materials from demolished buildings in Harlem. What are the connections that Nemasetoni is asking us to draw by bringing these objects together?
