Community Punching Bags, an exhibition by UCT senior lecturer Johann van der Schijff

Community Punching Bags, an exhibition by UCT senior lecturer Johann van der Schijff and run in collaboration with a number of high schools in Cape Town, is on show at the Iziko South African National Gallery Annexe until 16 June.

The multi-coloured punching bags - all adorned with faces -were designed, said the press release, to "show that issues often not spoken about openly, such as those that deal with violence, 'the other', stereotyping, discrimination, racism, xenophobia and human rights, can be addressed in a collaborative and creative way through the making of art".
