Auras of Women and the Sacred Within

Auras of Women And The Sacred Within is a profound exploration of Black identity, womanhood and spirituality through the lenses of three remarkable artists. Each artist's work carries the weight of history and the promise of future potential, transcending limitations and reclaiming narratives through powerful expressions of resilience, memory and healing. This exhibition serves as a beacon, illuminating the paths of these artists and inviting audiences to witness the strength and beauty of their stories. Through this sacred and reflective space, we honour not only the artists and their families but also the enduring legacy of womanhood and its transformative power within contemporary art.

Featured artists: Kay-Leigh Fisher, Mbali Mdikane, and Sam Ngcobo.

Rooted in themes of womanhood, Blackness and cultural identity, Auras of Women And The Sacred Within encapsulates the distinct yet interconnected journeys of these artists who are reshaping the narrative around black identity and womanhood in a post-apartheid South Africa. Their works draw upon personal experiences, cultural symbols and the energies of spiritual and maternal figures, creating an intricate tapestry that invites audiences to witness and participate in their stories. This exhibition aims to place these individual stories within a larger collective consciousness, offering a transformative experience that transcends the typical white cube art setting and elevates artistry to a global standard.
