{"product_id":"strange-cargo","title":"Strange Cargo","description":"\u003ci\u003eStrange Cargo: Essays on Art\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of forty essays by Ashraf Jamal. It can be regarded as the twin of Jamal's previous book, \u003ci\u003eIn the World: Essays on Contemporary South African Art\u003c\/i\u003e (2017). Both form part of a single venture to celebrate and entrench the rich complexity of South African artists in a global imaginary. The artists that Jamal chooses to reflect upon refuse to fit into a predictive algorithm. He has written with equal intensity about artists old and young, dead or alive, famous or relatively unknown, black or white, trending or not. Love and empathy-his indifference to difference-is his engine room, and much like the artists featured, Jamal does not only write for the moment we are in, but for a readership to come.","brand":"Skira Editore S.p.A","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42664317616164,"sku":"9788857246550","price":120.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9788857246550.jpg?v=1777355420","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/strange-cargo","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
