Same Mdluli discusses bringing Standard Bank’s collection into everyday space
Nkgopoleng Moloi’s ArtThrob interview examined the new Standard Bank Art Lab at Nelson Mandela Square through curator Same Mdluli’s ambitions for wider public access. Its inaugural textile exhibition included Gladys Xaba and the Katlehong Community Centre alongside loans from tapestry studios. Moloi weighed the possibilities of encountering historical art in a shopping centre against questions about corporate collecting, colonial commercial histories and who such spaces actually reach.
