Exhibition showcases women creatives
An exhibition by iQhiya collective of 11 black women creatives will be at KZNSA this week.
A COLLECTIVE of young black women, whose bodies of work have collided to make a topical and riveting exhibition, simply entitled iQhiya, opens at the KZNSA on 26 July.
iQhiya is essentially, a network of 11 young black women living and working in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Botswana delving in the realms of performance art, installation, video art, photography and other media. At the core of the group are shared personal and professional experiences that help shape each individual artist through various projects and exhibitions.
iQhiya features work by Cape Town-based artists Bonolo Kavula, Matlhogonolo Charity Kelapile, Bronwyn Katz, Matlhogonolo Pinky Mayeng, Thulile Gamedze, Lungiswa Gqunta, Asemahle Ntlonti, Thandiwe Msebenzi, Sethembile Msezane, Sisipho Ngodwana and Buhlebezwe Siwani. The artists have used a variety of media including digital, print and sculpture.
The group exhibition has travelled and been exhibited in Athens, Greece, and Kassel, Germany and now opens up at KZNSA.
The artists are hosting a public walkabout, to enlighten interested parties about their work on Saturday 29 July at 9am.
There will also be a KZNSA LAB TALK on Thursday 27 July at 6pm with the seven exhibiting artists.
