Fragmented Worlds / Coherent Lives

With the rise of immigration today caused by economic inequality, environmental disasters, and socio-political conflicts, living coherent lives today stands contrary to the reality of separation, disconnection, and displacement taking place. Curated by Tumelo Mosaka, Fragmented Worlds / Coherent Lives is an exhibition drawing on concepts informed by fragmentation, mobility, and adaptation. Borrowing its title from Pnina Motzafi-Haller’s book by the same name, artists in this exhibition present multiple narratives drawing on memory, history, and lived experience to express ways identities are becoming fragmented and sometimes contradictory. Working between concrete and subconscious ideas, artists weave coherent narratives that challenge what Africa represents today.
