For its second presentation at Expo Chicago, Southern Guild presents new and recent work by leading artists from Africa and its diaspora, including Terence Maluleke, Ayotunde Ojo, Zanele Muholi, Zizipho Poswa, Oluseye, Kamyar Bineshtarigh, Manyaku Mashilo and Patrick Bongoy.
Southern Guild returns to Expo Chicago for its second consecutive year with a presentation of new and recent work by leading artists from Africa and its diaspora. The gallery’s booth at the 2024 edition of the fair will debut figurative paintings by first-time exhibitors Terence Maluleke (South Africa) and Ayotunde Ojo (Nigeria), alongside work by Zanele Muholi (South Africa), Zizipho Poswa (South Africa), Oluseye (Nigeria/Canada), Kamyar Bineshtarigh (Iran/South Africa), Manyaku Mashilo (South Africa) and Patrick Bongoy (DRC).
Southern Guild’s inaugural participation in the fair last year was met with a resoundingly warm reception, with a series of collaborations forging connections between its artists and their counterparts in Chicago’s African-American community. The Cape Town-based gallery has since expanded to the United States with a 5,000-sqft space now open in Melrose Hill, Los Angeles, giving it a permanent platform to build on its core values of cultural exchange and meaningful engagement.
Southern Guild’s booth at Expo Chicago encompasses painting, photography and three-dimensional work. Diverse in subject matter and approach, the work on show leans towards the spiritual, locating the sacred in solitude, community, artistic labour, repose, sacrifice and the elevation of the everyday.
