Samson Kambalu - Nyasaland Analysand
Saturday Mar 16 - Saturday Apr 13
163 Jan Smuts Ave, Parkwood
Nyasaland was the name given to present-day Malawi when it was established as a British Protectorate in 1907 and an 'analysand' is someone who is undergoing psychoanalysis. Kambalu's exhibition 'Nyasaland Analysand' is an autobiographical journey through the fusion of cultures that made up Malawi when he was growing up, and a critical interrogation of how Western influences penetrated these familiar local traditions and customs . The exhibition employs various mediums for its exploration of self-expression, from dance to film to maps.
