Writing Art History Since 2002

First Title

At this point in history, we face a barrage of crises; we are bombarded on a daily basis with bad news. It may seem that those responsible for destruction outnumber those striving to make a positive and lasting change, but 100 GOOD IDEAS: Celebrating 20 Years of Democracy is evidence to the contrary. An officially recognised World Design Capital project (#WDC212) created by Art South Africa’s Brendon Bell-Roberts, this book has been received to wide acclaim and bears testament to the power of positive stories.

By assembling an inspiring collection of ideas, this glossy 416-page coffee table book seeks to encompass a collective vision that is driven by creativity, sustainability, and the desire to make a conscious and positive change.

Centred around the people, organisations, inventions, and contributions that seek to make a tangible and imaginative difference to their own lives and the lives of others, 100 GOOD IDEAS is actually little more than a bare-boned, all-too-human commitment to goodness. A true celebration of the spirit of Ubuntu!

Aptly dedicated to Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, 100 GOOD IDEAS is evidence of the human capacity for hope, love, innovation, and transformation. By bringing together people who have risen up to meet these challenges head on, it tells the GOOD news and the GOOD stories, proving just how much we have to be proud of in South Africa.
 
The GUILD Design Fair calls it, “a fabulous, feel-good book that celebrates 20 years of democracy in South Africa. With a cheeky mantra, ‘In Good We Trust’, it’s a must-have addition to any culture-lover’s library!”
 
Marie Claire SA invites us to, “flip through it to see how innovation and creativity have already transformed Cape Town and the rest of the country”.
 
Also a World Design Capital 2014 project, 100 GOOD IDEAS “confidently shows what we are capable of in South Africa. Our future depends on inspiring and supporting our talented people, and [this book] does just that.” (Jon Foster of the Henley Business School Africa)
