Chapter I
The Weight
of Holding
Thabiso Dakamela, in dialogue with Yokanna
The Weight of Holding examines contemporary figuration through interior life, psychological pressure, vulnerability, and collective memory.
Structured as a paced encounter rather than a survey, the exhibition asks what it means to remain visible without becoming spectacle.
Curatorial Approach
Built
around the
work.
Africa Curated develops focused presentations around artists whose practices demonstrate material rigor, compositional intelligence, and sustained inquiry.
Rather than assembling broad surveys, each exhibition establishes a clear curatorial framework through which the work can unfold with context, attention, and time.
