1 x INCOMPLETE COLLECTION OF ADA - ART DESIGN ARCHITECTURE MAGAZINES, SOFTCOVER, A3, IN GOOD CONDITION.

Edited by art critic, Jennifer Sorrell, ADA was a South African cultural magazine first published in 1986 during the height of the apartheid era. Its name is an abbreviation for Architecture, Design, Art, which also acted as the magazines tagline and effectively defined the focus of the publication. Most issues were printed using a large A3 format, with a design approach typical of the late 80s zeitgeist in South Africa concurrent to the resistance movements fighting against apartheid, just before independence and the rise of democracy. AThe magazine delivered an alternative type of journalism that was metropolitan and interdisciplinary, true to the spirit of resistance and transformation in SA at the time, and envisioned a prospective post-apartheid cultural identity.
