Nkgopoleng Moloi is a writer, curator and photographer based in Cape Town. She is interested in the spaces we occupy and navigate through and how these influence the people we become. Writing is a tool Moloi uses to understand the world around her and to explore the things she is excited and intrigued by, particularly history, art, language and architecture.

CONTESTED SPACE | WATER IS LAND IS AIR

This project brings together artists whose work, either directly or indirectly, engages the notion of space(s) and its contestations. Each work offers a relational understanding of place; space is recontextualised to think through the laboured and re-enforced edges between land, water and air. Through an amalgam of different mediums —photography, painting and sound—the project presents various questions, among them: what interesting discourse can be generated through thinking of land, water and air as co-mingled, blended and blurred?

The project will unfold steadily - introducing works by five artists at different points.

Artists include:

1. François- Xavier Gbré
2. Lidudumalingani
3. Thero Makepe
4. Sepideh Mehraban
5. Nabeeha Mohamed
