'Other Stories'

Sharlene Khan at Gallery Momo

Sharlene Khan's latest body of work stems from her work and interactions with informal traders in and around Johannesburg. Khan conducted a series of interviews with traders who, as migrants and refugees, are forced to eke out livelihoods in the inforamal sector, despite many being educated up to tertiary level. The interviews were transcribed onto the surfaces of canvases, after which Khan painted images of the street traders, finally embroidering the canvas surfaces.

Long live the dead Queen

Mary Sibande at Gallery Momo

Sibande continues to explore the construction of identity in a postcolonial South African context, critiquing stereotypical depictions of women, and black women in particular. A domestic servant uniform is transformed into Victorian dress by Sibande, probing power relationships between women, as particular to the colonial, and current, relationship of maid and 'madam'.
