How does the garden find its way inside the home and the body?
Through a conversation between artists and ecologists, the artistic, historical, and cultural significance of the garden in the exhibition Home Is Where The Art Is: Art Is Where The Home Is, will be explored. The symbolism of the garden will be used to unpack issues around mythology, land, urbanism, food, migrations, taxonomies and indigenous knowledge systems.
What narratives of history, biodiversity and botany will be uncovered? And how is a garden a possible site of memory, healing and nourishment?
Using artworks as provocations to address these issues, this discussion will foster dialogue between the exhibition and the local environment.
The discussion will feature acclaimed local cultural practitioner, food activist and artist Zayaan Khan and participating artist Shakil Solanki, and will be moderated by Sakhisizwe Gcina, Project Content Coordinator at Zeitz MOCAA.
