Drawing on a variety of audio-visual forms  including video installations, conceptual artwork, documentary film, live art, and sonic installations  \u003ci\u003eWayward Feeling\u003c\/i\u003e examines some of the affective resources that people in contemporary South Africa have been drawing on to make difficult lives more bearable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47919564226718,"sku":"ING-9781487540586","price":115.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781487540586.jpg?v=1782813753","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781487540586","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
