Lungiswa Gqunta: Tending to the harvest of dreams

Frankfurt

MUSEUMMMK FÜR MODERNE KUNST

From August 21, 2021

For “Tending to the harvest of dreams,” South African artist Lungiswa Gqunta explores colonialism’s continued impact 30 years since the supposed end of apartheid in a multisensory, site-specific installation. Tangles of barbed wire wound with strips of green, orange, and purple cloth and lake-like basins of rusting steel forms evoke and respond to the ongoing structural segregations visible in South Africa today.
