EBONY/CURATED is delighted to announce the opening of Terrain, a group show, at their Bordeaux House Gallery in Franschhoek on Saturday 10th May at 11:30 am.
Featuring the work of fifteen contemporary artists, Terrain presents a nuanced and resonant exploration of land, both as a physical presence and a profound metaphor for body, memory, and identity.
This exhibition invites a contemplation of the landscapes we traverse, not solely the external geographies of soil and stone, but also the internal terrains of the body, psyche, and spirit. Framed through a curatorial lens that views land as a mirror to the human condition, Terrain examines how both body and landscape are inscribed with cycles of transformation, erosion, renewal, and resilience. Each is shaped by forces- natural, social, and political- that lie beyond immediate control, yet leave indelible marks.
- Terrain poses an invitation to consider how our inner and outer worlds reflect and inform one another, and how we inhabit, contest, and reimagine the landscapes- real and symbolic- that define our place in the world.
Participating Artists:
Andrew Barlow * Craig Cameron-Mackintosh * Feni Chulumanco * Yonela Doda * Karen Elkington * Ulriche Jantjies     Thami Kiti * Yonela Makoba * Tinyiko Makwakwa * Rentia Retief * Amy Rusch * Catriona Towriss * Mary Visser
