Lebohang Kganye, visual artist and photographer from Johannesburg, explores the materiality of photography through her use of sculptural, performative, theatrical and moving images. 📸💃 “She combines elusive characters with “real” figures, constructing narratives that blur the lines between past and present, reality and imagination.” Kganye utilises family archives to do so.

Homelessness: Reframed is now open! Thank you to all who joined us for the special preview of the exhibition, held in partnership with The Royal Foundation of The Prince and Princess of Wales' Homewards programme and Eleven Eleven Foundation. The exhibition brings to life the breadth and complexities of homelessness across the country. It features work from artists in the UK and beyond which are inspired by their own or other’s experiences of homelessness alongside artwork created by children and young people in the six flagship Homewards locations. The special event gave guests a first look at the artwork, which includes brand new pieces from the likes of British photographer Rankin, graffiti artist Opake, and painter and sculpture Simone Brewster. Attendees were also treated to a special performance by Surfing Sofas of ‘Good Work,’ a track celebrating the spirit of collaboration in the efforts towards ending homelessness that he wrote especially for the exhibition. Homelessness: Reframed is open from today until 20th September. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eqe9b2qv
