Salt

Opening: 25 October 2025 at 14:00

Participating: Robert Slingsby, Toni-Ann Ballenden, Asanda Kupa, Bambo Sibiya, Talia Goldsmith, Andrew Nsthabele and Robert Wagener

In this exhibition, ‘Salt’ becomes more than substance. It is a metaphor for the pillars of preservation — that of collective culture, memory, and truth. It is the crystallisation of resilience, the nurturing of joy and the disorientation that grief evinces about our aliveness.
 
Salt, such as the porosity of our watery bodies, moves between and through worlds - permeating both waterscapes and landscapes; its multidimensionality is found in its utilisation - opening rituals of welcome, cementing rites of covenant, and embodying an ethics of care.
 
The artworks that will be showcased in this exhibition, are connected by either the thematics or the materiality of Salt, hereby inviting us to savour life in its many intensities, in the realm of the logical and the creative, in the localities of the rural and the urban, in the mind and the body Salt asks us to reflect on what we keep, what we release, and what we transmute. Just as Salt renders flavour, art conjures meaning; revealing the richness and complexity rooted in everyday being.
