Artists Books

 

 

In 1994 the Kuru Art Project, in collaboration with The Artists Press, produced the limited edition artist’s book QAUQAUA, A San folk story from Botswana told by Coexae Qgam.

 

This was the first book ever written in a San language, as told by a San person, illustrated by San artists and bound in traditionally tanned goat skin. It contains eleven original lithographs signed by the artists.

 

In 2001 Qauqaua was selected for the “Voyages Exhibition” of the Smithsonian Institute Libraries and was listed by the Grolier Book Club as one of the top ten highlights of the exhibition.
