UHambo: The Journey brings together three emerging artists whose work explores the space between inherited identity and self-authored identity.
This is a collaboration that is nestled at an intersection of the prevailing impact of art education, patronage systems, and collectorship, reflecting how these factors shape, sustain, and give visibility to emerging artistic voices. Through drawing and ceramics pieces, their works reflect deeply personal narratives shaped by culture, memory and lived experience.
Although these three artists created work in separate places and spaces, a common theme threads through their practices: still emergent, their visual languages equally contribute to a dialogic culture where drawing from memory is both challenge and the goal, and accuracy is the shared intention - whether it is expressed through hyper realistic precision, sculptural formation, or naturalistic sensitivity.
"These artworks are a labour of love...
Each minute leads to hours...
This practice of making art is truly a labour of love."
