Born in Cape Town, South Africa, contemporary artist Lhola Amira responds to the wounds left by colonization across many disparate contexts to create spaces for healing through connection to the earth, the ancestral, and the spiritual.
Join us for a conversation with the artist led by Natasha Becker, curator of African art at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, as the two discuss Amira’s commitment to reckoning with historical and ongoing forms of cultural and ecological violence, THEIR cross-disciplinary art practice, as well as THEIR hopes for the future.
This conversation is part of the arts of Africa permanent collection exhibition, Lhola Amira: Facing the Future which opens to the public on Saturday, December 17, 2023. This conversation will be followed by a 10- to 15-minute audience Q+A.
