The Taung Child then and now: Commemorating its centenary in a postcolonial age

Cover image: Legata la Taung [Taung Skull] by Motshidisi Leburu 
Artist’s description of the cover image: My inspiration for this project is from Darwin’s Hunch and Our Science, Ourselves, both written by Christa Kuljian. I created the artwork from a point of emptiness, and ended with tapestry colours, tones and textures that reflect a diverse and controversial history of the Taung Skull.
Tlhaloso ya setshwantsho sa khabara: Buka ya ‘Darwin’s Hunch’ le ya ‘Our Science, Ourselves’ ke tsone di nthotloeditseng go dira porojeke eno mme ka bobedi jwa tsone di kwadilwe ke Christa Kuljian. Ke takile setshwantsho seno ka go se itshimololela, mme ka feleletsa ke dirile mebala e e galotseng, mebala e e tswakaneng e e nang le boleng, e e supang hisitori ya methalethale e e aparetsweng ke kgang ya moruthutha ka Logata lwa kwa Taung.
