Kay Hassan, a former Rorke’s Drift student like many artists in this gallery, creates paper constructions from discarded cardboard and billboard posters. "Bus Ride" considers the ongoing social and spatial legacy of apartheid, during which non-White South Africans commuted long distances from townships and designated “Native homelands” to low-paying jobs in White urban areas.
