The 1926 Bezuidenhout Valley War World War 1 Memorial had suffered from severe neglect. The project comprised two parts, the relocation of the original memorial to a more appropriate local setting, and the creation of a new artwork as part of a reimagining of the original location of the memorial.  Working with the artist Andrew Lindsey and the Spaza Art Gallery, the Ubuntu mosaic was conceptualised to be an inclusive commemoration of humanity.
