The Ultimate Safari is Nadine Gordimers' short story about a young girl, who flees Mozambique with her family and walks through the Kruger Park to a supposedly better life in South Africa. The text has been made into an artists book. The writing is complimented by hand-printed lithographs drawn by Dorah Ngomane, Aletah Masuku and Alsetah Manthosi, who have all made the dangerous trek on foot to South Africa, and who have recalled their journeys in print form. South Africans, living in one of the most xenophobic countries in the world, tend to look at every immigrant from across the borders as someone "who takes our jobs". After reading The Ultimate Safari, and looking at the images, nobody could possibly think of refugees in this way again. We are all essentially the same, and need to work together to overcome the divide created by political demarcations. The Artists' Press has donated a number of The Ultimate Safari artists books to selected development and art organisations which seek to build a better southern Africa. THE AUTHOR: Nobel Literature prize winner Nadine Gordimer has signed each copy of the limited edition artist's book.
THE ARTISTS: Dorah Ngomane, Aletah Masuku and Alsetah Manthosi, live in Welverdiend, near the Kruger National Parks' Orpen Gate. PRINTING: A limited edition of 100 books has been printed by The Artists' Press. The Ultimate Safari 52 page artists' book contains twelve original lithographs, and has been hand-printed by Mark Attwood, Leshoka Legate and Peter Sekole. The paper used is White Arches 250 gsm, 100% cotton, acid-free. The text has been typeset in Univers, and hand-printed on a Vandercook letterpress proof-press.
