Speechless is the title of the group show that opens at Erdmann Contemporary Gallery on Tuesday May 26.
Troubled by the state of the nation and rendered speechless by the dismal vaudeville of the President’s 2015 State of the Nation Address (SONA), South African comic artists present their own personal State of the Nation Address Response (SONAR).
Speechless represents a voice articulated in the visual, paradoxically, the only language equally accessible to all eleven languages.
