Art in a time of repression - 3
new exhibs: 3. Imbacu - Artists who once lived in exile
Imbacu - Art from the
inside/outside" opens 16 May at Iziko SA National Gallery.
Curator Loyiso Qanya states that the exhibition takes as its
point of departure the death of Steve Biko 30 years ago. The
word "Imbacu" means exile in Xhosa since all the exhibition
artists have at some time in their lives lived in exile, either
within their own land or outside of it. Imbacu's artists, each
of whom made a contribution toward transformation in South
Africa, include those of the stature of Albert Adams, Dumile
Feni, Thamsanqa Mnyele and Paul Stopforth.
An educational programme

including sculptures, photographs and paintings.
