The visual arts institution Stroom Den Haag has nominated three artists to the municipality to submit a draft design for the monument, among them is the artist we represent, Buhlebezwe Siwani. With her draft design now completed, a jury will select the artist who will be commissioned to finalize and realize the project. For this project Siwani reflected on how to represent both residents and their heritage through a meaningful, symbolic artwork. They aimed to create a powerful and unifying symbol that acknowledges the past with empathy, without dwelling on pain.
