It is the first time that I leave the African continent - to take part in a group exhibition in England. It is more than two years after the lifting of Britain's cultural boycott of the Pretoria Regime and therefore okay to eat Outspan again. I could find the previously taboo South African export oranges on the shelves of Marks and Spencers all over London to regularly fill the weathered enamel bowl on my totem pole.
