Ta a-b kobab ada kāxu-da, ti khoe-du’e

Ta a-b kobab ada kāxu-da, ti khoe-du’e presents new work by Bronwyn Katz, a South African artist whose practice works through sculpture and installation to develop a speculative language grounded in land, memory, and embodied forms of knowledge. The exhibition centers on what the festival describes as “the retrieval of lost language through material process,” beginning with the body and with subtle marks on skin that appear, dissolve, and register contact over time. Monument Gallery, Monument Building, Fort Selwyn Drive, Grahamstown / Makhanda, 6140, Eastern Cape, South Africa. June 25, 2026 — Runs through July 5, 2026. Those intimate bodily cartographies are translated into sculptural forms: metal scaffolds holding resonant cavities, horns filled with healing herbs and beeswax, and conductive wire circuits. The exhibition’s materials matter here, because Katz uses them not simply for formal effect but to imagine language as something carried through touch, sound, sensation, and transmission rather than through stable archive or text. In that sense, the work proposes an alternate system for recording and communicating communal memory.
