Synthetic Fibres | KAMWOKYA TRESOR LEARNING CENTRE
By Phumulani Ntuli
This video installation explores material cultures within the decolonization processes, challenging the binary between high and low art. Synthetic fibres serve as a metaphor for the act of weaving together different strands either synthetic or non-synthetic to propose new perspectives.
