Gule argues that memorialisation hasn’t been successful in forging a unified national identity, the disconnect between the ideal of a booming nation and marginalisation and dispossession of Black people.

Citing the work of artists like Makandula, Buhlebezi  Siwe and others, he critiques current modes of memorialisation and the very notion of nationhood.
