Contemporary !Xun artists of South Africa’s Northern Cape Province have produced art that has been described as nostalgic and primitive. Yet the content of these artworks highlights astute political commentary, asserting belonging and immediacy in a political milieu where historically Bushman groups have been ostracized and delegitimized. The !Xun artist Flai Shipipa has created art that is a hybrid spiritual expression with inferences to Bushman cosmology and Christianity. Through this religio-political imagery Shipipa’s canvases are a tangible cultural record of assertions of identity, authenticity, belonging, faith, ambiguity and memory.

当代布须曼艺术： !Xun 艺术家 Flai Shipipa 的作品

南非北开普省的当代 !Xun 艺术家创作了被描述为怀旧和原始的艺术。然而，这些艺术品的内容突出了精明的政治评论，在历史上布须曼人团体被排斥和非法化的政治环境中主张归属感和直接性。!Xun 艺术家 Flai Shipipa 创造了一种艺术，它是一种混合精神表达的艺术，其中包含对布须曼宇宙学和基督教的推论。通过这种宗教政治意象，Shipipa 的画布是身份、真实性、归属感、信仰、模糊性和记忆断言的有形文化记录。
