'Home and Away: A Return to the South'
Various Artists at Iziko Michaelis Collection at the Old Town HouseFor the last five years, the Ifa Lethu Foundation has been instrumental in repatriating South African art that was produced during the apartheid years but which found its way overseas due to the fact that there was no market for the work of black South African artists in the country at the time.
The exhibition 'Home and Away: A Return To The South' explores this previously lost artistic heritage with a selection of works from the Ifa Lethu collection alongside the Art Against Apartheid collection, currently under the curatorship of the Mayibuye Robben Island archive at UWC. Curated by Carol Brown (former director of the Durban Art Gallery and now an independent curator) the show examines the similarities and differences between works produced by South African artists experiencing the oppression of apartheid and those from beyond our shores who created works in support of the struggle. Although produced from different perspectives, the two collections are united in their focus on human rights.
