Title
Woman Chained to Striped Cross, c. 1987
Subject
Chicago Anti-Apartheid
Description
In print on the art piece: "The oppressed Christians of South Africa have long been united to Christ, who by his own suffering and death, became a victim of oppression and violence."
Black and white, vertically striped cross to which a figure of a woman is chained. Sourced from an anti-Apartheid art collection, the artwork was created by Sister Helen David Broncato of Maryknoll, New York and it was created for the "1987 Summer Institute for Peace and Justice" matte ink printed on glossy paper.
The artwork can be compared to Gavin Jantjes A South African Colouring Book in that it relates to promoting an anti-apartheid message through awareness campaigns. Jantjes "recalls that many of his colleagues 'could not understand why a majority population did not simply rid themselves of a racist, minority ruling class'" which prompted him to create A South African Colouring Book.
