Description: Wilma Cruise is probably best known for Strike the Woman Strike the Rock (2000), a public work produced collaboratively with Marcus Holmes which commemorates the march of women on the Union Buildings on 9 August 1956 to protest against the pass laws. This government commission tallies with Cruise's longstanding interest in feminism. Also, through its incorpora tion of sound, the written word and projections of imagery, Strike the Woman Strike the Rock coheres with an interest in combining a diversity of media and art forms that has been evident in her work during the last few years.

Description: The Interior, Birthing Tray and Parturition are three sub-sections of a project entitled Parturient Prospects that artist Christine Dixie began in 2005, when she was pregnant with her second child, and completed by the end of 2006. In Parturient Prospects, the author reveals, Dixie situates her experiences against Western discourses, especially images from early modern Europe. Focusing on the ways in which visual representations construct woman as ‘other’, Dixie invokes reference to not only representations of birth and maternity but also religious, medical and geographical images.

Description: South Africa has the largest number of people living with HIV of any nation in the world. While various conditions and circumstances have made South Africa especially susceptible to an HIV/AIDS pandemic, its leadership has not recognized the impact of the disease or found appropriate strategies to address rising rates of infection. Thabo Mbeki's presidency (1999—2008) and the appointment of Manto Tshabalala-Msimang as his health minister were disastrous in terms of the pandemic.
