Phenomenal Women | Maya Angelou and Margaret Courtney-Clarke

Curated by  Dr. Siona O’Connell

14 August –  25 September 2021

“The idea that two women from different continents, and very different backgrounds connecting and developing a remarkable friendship over many years, may be surprising to many. When one of those women is Dr. Maya Angelou, the African American poet, novelist and mother who was born in St Louis, Missouri in the United States, and the other is Margaret Courtney-Clarke, writer and photographer who was born in Swakopmund, South West Africa (now Namibia), the unexpected friendship and the conversations that ensued offers those of us looking for hope and other ways of being, fresh impetus.” – Dr Siona O’ Connell.

Lindo Zwane presents mystery, intensity and pure intentions with his latest solo exhibition, ubumnyama. The title of this exhibition refers to a play on darkness, like the color black or a shadow. This body of work extends a generous invitation to interrogate the deepest corners of our own being. The artist plays with the elements of both two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes and forms on his canvas, creating a visual balance between simplicity and complexity. This juxtaposition allows a continuous rethinking and comparison of opposing thoughts that follow in its wake. The artist uses high contrast in his work, reminding us of the never-ending duplicity of human nature – one that is both good and evil. The artist invites us on a journey of introspection as he leads us through the darkness or ubumnyama, using his own portraits as reference material for a symbol of hope and light.
