A Country Imagined takes us on a journey through South Africa and explores the landscapes that have inspired artist, writers and musicians for centuries. Presented by one of South Africa's most loved and famous musicians - Johnny Clegg - who is also an anthropologist - A Country Imagined takes us through South Africa's most beautiful spaces - and through this, we explore the rich history of art and the "imaginings" of our society.
The programmes introduce us to South African artists and their work as well as the landscapes they work with.
Some, like Nadine Gordimer, Olive Shreiner, William Kentridge and David Goldblatt are known around the world.
Others, will soon be. Some - like the bead workers and potters of remote rural villages have produced works without signatures. A Country Imagined brings them all together through a fascinating exploration of art and artists set against a backdrop of scenery and a vexed and dramatic history.
Shot on HD, with remarkable aerial, historical and timelapse photography.
A Country Imagined comes in 5 DVD's with 13 Episodes.
