Repair of the Present

Opening: 20 May 2026 at 18:00 - 24 July 2026

Participating: Various Artists

In contemporary South African youth culture, sovereignty is negotiated between personal identity and inherited histories. It is not about escaping the past, but choosing how to carry, transform, or resist it.
 

In Repair of the Present, artists shift from contesting institutions to questioning the archive; who preserves culture, who tells the story, and how memory is held. Sovereignty is expressed through control over visibility and narration, and even through refusal.
