Thresholds

The exhibition abstracts notions of place, documenting the body’s precarious negotiation with land, and questions our architectures—both physical and ideological—that contain, shape, root, liberate and define us. Whether confronting the spectral weight of geopolitical borders, mapping intimate geographies steeped in personal and collective memory, or conjuring imagined terrains that destabilize the notion of ‘territory’, the exhibition brings land and place into focus. Here, land is neither static nor inert—it is contested, fluid, charged with histories of displacement, belonging, and transformation.

Featured artists include Belinda Blignaut, Patrick Bongoy, Simphiwe Buthelezi, Zarah Cassim, Amine El Gotaibi, Madoda Fani, Daniel Adam Levi, Nozuko Madokwe, Justine Mahoney, Thero Makepe, Rochelle Webster Nembhard, Mmangaliso Nzuza, Mankebe Seakgoe, Gemma Shepherd and Luyanda Zindela, among others.
