Kagiso Pat Mautloa\u2019s work portrays the interconnectedness of living with HIV\/AIDS and life in South African townships. The goal of the work is twofold: comment on the struggle that is living with HIV\/AIDS in South Africa and facilitate personal healing.<\/p>\n

The personal toll of living with HIV\/AIDS necessitates attempts to provide psychological relief (Hubbell 2016: 14). For Mautloa, artistic depictions of township life\u2013\u2013barbed wire (bent into a heart), fences, inadequate medicine (the small portrayal of the apothecary\u2019s window on the left), and poor access to water (the figure carrying water on the right)\u2013\u2013are critical components for coping. The work is subtle in its allusions, indicating the personal nature of healing. Additionally, present is Mautloa\u2019s critique of local misconceptions of the causes and spread of HIV\/AIDS.<\/p>\n

Ford\u2019s article is useful, as it uses case studies to look at the effectiveness of past attempts to employ the healing powers of arts. This is at the heart of the Mautloa\u2019s purpose.<\/p>\n

This article is of inherent use in terms of understanding the psychological healing powers of art. While the article is about textile art, it is still useful to Mautloa\u2019s painting, insofar as it provides context into the usefulness of artistic healing, which is at the heart of this painting and the \u201cHealing Arts\u201d exhibition as a whole.<\/p>\n

This short chapter provides great insight into Mautloa\u2019s artistic styles and backgrounds. This is inherently useful when trying to interpret his work in relation to the topic of the healing powers of art.<\/p>\n
