LADY SKOLLIE: Groot Gat
Jun 12 – Jul 31, 2024
As part of the Cape Town leg celebrating Lady Skollie’s prestigious 2022 Standard Bank Young Artist Award win, Everard Read hosts the eponymous ‘Groot Gat’ installation. This cave-like space with its animated paintings explores a fantasy realm where the San, the Khoi, the Griqua, and all Brown people from Southern Africa exist in an environment filled with tradition and a living history.
This experiential piece is on show alongside the main exhibition, taking place at the Norval Foundation between 22 May – 15 September 2024.
