Engaging Modernities: Transformations of the Commonplace by Anitra Nettleton; Julia Charlton and Fiona Rankin-Smith was written to accompany an exhibition at the Durban Art Gallery from 2 April-30 June 2003.

"In recent years, countless researchers have been captivated by Africa's vibrant contemporary artistic traditions. Unlike most of the African art historians writing on African art before the 1980s, they are sensitive to the ways in which African communities negotiate complex sociocultural relations in, and through, the global realities that have come to inform their lives."
