Opening & Performance: Wednesday, 20 June 2018, 6pm
KutalaChopeto (KC) is the collective name of artist-duo Teresa Kutala Firmino and Helena Uambembe, whose practice centers on memory and the retelling of stories derived from their Angolan, Portuguese-speaking community of Pomfret. By restructuring memory as a means of confronting difficult questions and of their experiences in their hometown, the artists hope to provoke processes of healing.
The exhibition is a collection of stories from three different Angolan communities that live across South Africa – Pomfret, Pretoria, Lethabile, Oskraal and Zeerust.
The full performance is made up of five unique stories, with each one acting as a separate record for each community and performed by a different actor in front of a live audience.
Realised in collaboration with “Goethe-Institut Project Space” (GPS). GPS is a multi-disciplinary roving project space which supports work realized all over South Africa ranging from workshops to exhibitions, events and performances; including visual art, literature, film, music, dance and theatre projects.
