R550.00

Rebellion, Community, Township Art and Heritage in the era of Apartheid. This work is a vibrant fusion of the life and art of a quintessential Johannesburg painter and a classic twentieth-century South African story.

In this book, author Bashier Sallie creates an archive of the life of his grandfather, Mogamat Sallie Sallie, the remarkable man who was so influential in his upbringing. M.S. Sallie was a master craftsman, a saddlemaker, a Rakam creator, a fine artist and a leader of his community. His story of a life spent in Fietas, Sophiatown, Albertville, Kliptown, Newclare and Spitskop Avenue, Bosmont South Africa is the story of many of our elders… it’s a journey you will enjoy. In Canvases of a Mubarak Life, he has captured a remarkable artist’s story, but also the story of a community that would not be held back. — Ferial Haffajee  – journalist, newspaper editor, author and art lover.
