Imidlinzo/ Meditation runs in the Schreiner Gallery at the Tatham from July 11 and will run until August 22, 2021, at 14h00.

This collaborative exhibition by artists Sakhile Mhlongo and Zakhele Hlabisa questions commonly held perceptions about our daily lives, and how easy it is to judge, based on an individual’s personal perspective. Their artworks portray people’s lifestyles and daily habits that have become accepted as the norm. These moments are captured and reflected upon by the artists.

Both artists will be working in the exhibition space from August 3 to 6 between 10h00 and 16h00 daily (lockdown levels permitting).

They will be available to interact with members of the public and pupils who need assistance to build up their portfolio for school or tertiary institutions.

Artists’ Forum participants will also benefit by bringing their work to discuss with the exhibiting artists.

Sakhile Mhlongo and Zakhele Hlabisa virtual exhibition Imidlinzo/ Meditation can be attended virtually at the Tatham Art Gallery’s website: https://www.tatham.org.za/
