Holmes’ talk examines the paradoxes that exist in the South African novel, not as a model of art in an age of popular democracy, but rather as a mode of the democratic imagination. "No Museum Piece: The Paradox of South African Literature" forms a unique bridge between literature and artwork as Holmes analyzes pertinent questions that raise new ideas associated with the works in Voices: Truth, Identity, and Art from Africa, the current exhibition at the Handwerker.
