‘Let’s Play’ is a reflection of the artist’s experience of studying at Stellenbosch, namely, as a black student who does not speak Afrikaans – and how this led to feelings of social alienation. The artwork features a series of short, looping animations, symbolising the game of being allowed to participate, but with difficulty. The piece explores subtler forms of prejudice that are often overlooked yet have powerful consequences such as how not understanding a language can place groups of people at a disadvantage.
