Lunch Poster

This piece was my very first local award in 2002. It still serves as a disturbing reminder of the racial divisions of our past. This poster references the Apartheid practice of serving meals to people of colour using ‘special’ enamelware. Also, black staff were often not given an option on the meals they received while working in white homes. Thick slices of government-issue bread with cheap jam and budget tea was considered adequate. A shameful practice which still provokes strong reactions today.
