'Filmmaker Terhys Persad is dismantling stereotypes about identity through her engaging web series, Where Art Thou. It recasts Western Travel Narratives from voyeuristic to respectful by answering the question: What can art tell us about a country?"'
'What do you get when you mix a love of art and travel? In this web series, host Terhys Persad interviews artists in South Africa about their work and learns about the culture, history and society. You've never seen art history like this before.'
'Through Where Art Thou, Persad wanted to challenge the common perceptions about South Africa. To do this she engaged artists whose work had a social, political, or cultural connection to South Africa.'
