Published on the occasion of of Ndiritu's solo show Compassionate Rebels on Action at Cooper Gallery, Dundee.
Designed as a subversion of the infamous Mao’s Little Red Book; the glossary engenders a humanitarian ethos of 'peace building', ethics of restitution and 'truth and reconciliation' for the art world and wider society. The glossary contains 50 terms Ndiritu has invented or adopted since 2000 into her practice as artist and activist. The red paper insert is a visualization in the form of a Bauhaus roundal of these 50 terms.
Furthermore, an ambitious new wall text installation has been designed for the Study Room at Cooper Gallery, composed by the artist in collaboration with the venue and provides a visual interpretation of Ndiritu’s glossary inline with Stuart Hall concept of the ‘politics of articulation’.
