POSTS BY: Claire Van Den Heever

After graduating from UCT, Claire went abroad in search of inspiration. In the Middle East, she wrote about feminist issues, in India, the nation’s complex social structures, and in China – where she found enough inspiration to spend three years – China’s contemporary art scene. Her first book, which tells the thirty-year-long story of Chinese contemporary art, will be published in September this year. What she most enjoys is writing about her travels; currently, she’s writing travel stories about her overland journey from Shanghai to Cape Town on her website, Old World Wandering.
