Curated by Rhodes Scholar Julie Taylor (Zimbabwe & St Antony’s 2003), the compelling exhibition features the work of seven southern African artists and takes an intimate look at how artists have grappled with colonial legacies, their material manifestations and visual symbolism, pointing to the possibility of decolonisation. Launched on 19 June 2024 at Rhodes House, the exhibition drew a diverse audience from both the Rhodes Trust community and the wider Oxford public.
Entitled ‘Entangled’, the exhibition features artworks by Nicola Brandt, Isheanesu Dondo, Raymond Fuyana, Muningandu Hoveka, Tuli Mekondjo, Zenaéca Singh & Gift Uzera who hail from South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe. Their expressions span a variety of art forms including photography, painting, sculpture and performance, offering a multi-dimensional exploration of these profound themes.
