Gallery Talk with Xolile ‘X’ Madinda
Ubuhlanti is a Xhosa gathering space. It is part of a ceremonial and philosophical system designed to bring families and communities together to share, communicate and resolve the issues and problems of the day and the ages.
Including video projection, images, sound art and other newly commissioned art works, this pop-up exhibition is offered as part of the continuing relationship between The Black Power Station in Makhanda (formerly Grahamstown) in the Eastern Cape of South Africa and the University of Virginia. It is designed to create a space of solution-orientated dialogue in which new audiences can listen to landscapes, histories and communities.
Ongoing: Live creation of new process-based Ubuhlanti canvases at locations around and near The Fralin \\ Pop-Up Student work, including sound and visual collages, bricks, and choreographed conversations.
All events are supported by the Office of the Vice Provost of the Arts.
