Abstract
The purpose of this research is to investigate whether street artists make
statements about current socia-political affairs as a form of popular protest and
whether those statements can be reflected in another design discipline. such as
jewellery design. while reflecting upon the work of Faith47. a South African social
commentator.
Cultural studies has been referenced as a theoretical framework in relation to
cultural sup-groups and. a historic context is provided in order to better
understand the significance of social commentary in graffiti, a form of street art
produced by social sub-qroup, and made during a period known as Apartheid
and currently. in Post-Apartheid South Africa.
A range of jewellery then emerged from the research. dealing with the aspects of
social-political commentary. as an interpretation of a form of protest art and
applied to wearable jewellery.
The products incorporate word and images that are provocative and invite the
viewer to question and reflect upon what in my view was a contentions and
significant period in the history of South Africa.
