The exhibition spans the various aspects of Donna Kukama’s practice to include performance, works on canvas, sculptural objects, video and a site-specific installation.
Wits Art Museum is pleased to announce
Ways-of-Remembering-Existing, a solo exhibition by donna Kukama.
The title,
Ways-of-Remembering-Existing, is rooted in Kukama's ongoing PhD creative research which critiques existing narratives of history and traditional modes of storytelling. Through her practice, Kukama proposes texts - written with and through time, breath, and memory - and objects whose grammar is opacity and ephemerality.
Amongst the other works in the exhibition, Kukama will also present aspects of a project begun in 2015: 'a history book for those who absolutely need to be remembered'. The Book was originally conceived as a tool for questioning and rethinking memorials, monuments, and national commemorations within the South African landscape, and has since presented chapters in a range of other contexts.
The exhibition will be open for viewing from 31 August – 05 November 2022
