REFLECTIONS: on Black girlhood

Exhibition opening

Join us with our participating artists for the opening of Reflections, on Black girlhood at the Market Photo Gallery, with sounds from Nombuso Mathibela.

Market Photo Workshop
138 Lilian Ngoyi St, Newtown

Woven into this group exhibition are reflections on Black girlhood from five contemporary South African artists across multiple generations. Collectively they sing “a black girl’s song” (to cite Ntozake Shange), exploring themes of memory, biography, performance, the body, community, care and “being in public”, through creative practices of waywardness, play and (insistently) joy.

Curated by Danielle Bowler
Participating artists: Haneem Christian, Ruth Motau, Thenjiwe Niki Nkosi, Motlhoki Nono & Lebogang Tlhako.
