This discussion is centred on the Platonian notion and ingenuity of the grafting of two entities to create something new. As in Grecian times, grafting exists in African communities. This article seeks to present the idea of grafting as displayed in the confluence of Masilela's "idea" and Kunene's "art form". This demonstrates the hallmark of the New African Movement (NAM). The discussion explores five areas of Kunene's philosophy as an expression of Masilela's ideology of the new African renaissance: the family, religion, knowledge, land, and the epic. The power of the idea birthed through form (art) is thus shown in our purposeful examination of Kunene's philosophy and advocacy for the preservation of African epistemologies, affirming Ngidi's point that Kunene provides key pillars of Masilela's ideology. Framed in a different ancient civilisation, Masilela's ideology of the new African intersects with Kunene's work and yields a product that is a fitting instrument for Africa's self-re-imaging. The New African Movement is thus an apt framework for recentring Africa's epistemologies, as articulated by Kunene whose work exhibits Africa's heritage that needs re-centring. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Critical Arts: A South-North Journal of Cultural & Media Studies is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
