November 2006 saw the launch of David Krut Publishing’s latest book Light on a Hill - Building the Constitutional Court of South Africa. The launch event, held at the Constitutional Court with all the Judges of the Court present, was a culmination of three year’s work involving the Constitutional Court Art Committee, the architects and David Krut Publishing. The book seeks to explain the democratic processes and the new democracy that is represented by the Court. The book features the exceptionally stong photographs of the site by Angela Buckland, whilst text and editing are supplied by Bronwyn Law-Viljoen, Managing Editor of David Krut Publishing. The DKP location at the Constitutional Court is also the new home for the Taxi Art Education Programme (TAEP) which has grown in its outreach over the last two years. The book store is managed by two members of the TAEP team, Gadi Magagane and Roxy Carim. DK Arts bookstore at the Constitutional Court is open Mondays to Fridays 09:00 am – 17:00 pm and Saturdays 09:00 am – 13:00. Phone Gadi Magagane at 072 339 0663 and Regii Mabegenza 082 697 1996.
