In Influx Controls: I wanna be wanna be, Boyzie Cekwana examines his human identity against the backdrop of apartheid and global colonialism. Boyzie Cekwana, who grew up in Soweto, bases his latest work on the "influx controls", a system of rigid pass laws implemented by the South African government in 1923, which prevented black Africans from moving freely and settling in cities. These laws dominated their economic, political, educational, social and cultural reality for years. "I can't escape history", says Cekwana.
