Memory, History, Geography - The New Exhibition at The Gallery

The Gallery launches their latest exhibition this Saturday, 2nd September, featuring artists;

Laurinda Belcher, Nano Le Face, John Phalane, Pule Ratsoma, Renée Rossouw & Anthony Scullion

“Memory, history, and geography are interconnected elements that play a pivotal role in shaping our identity. They are intricately woven into the fabric of human civilization, influencing how we evolve, how societies remember their past, and how physical landscapes become repositories of both historical events and shared narratives. 

Memory, intertwined with history, is not a static recollection but a dynamic process shaped by cultural, societal, and individual perspectives. 

History shapes the consciousness of individuals and societies, influencing how they perceive themselves and their place in the world. 

Geography, the study of Earth's landscapes, has its own influence over the course of history and memory. Landscapes provides the backdrop for historical events that will imprint and forge itself into our memory. 

"Resonance of Place" 

The exploration of memory, history, and geography offers a well of inspiration for artistic expression. We invite visitors to reflect on the interconnectedness of these elements and their role in shaping the human experience. As you navigate the artworks, you will embark on a voyage that transcends time and place, illuminating the delicate threads that bind us to our past, our memories, and the landscapes that hold the echoes of both.”

Pop in this September to view this beautiful exhibition.
