Lady Skollie’s GROOT GAT rebuilt stories around historical absence

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

Tiyani Rikhotso reviewed Lady Skollie’s GROOT GAT at Norval Foundation for ArtThrob, following its final presentation associated with her 2022 Standard Bank Young Artist Award. The paintings drew on San and Khoisan rock art while exploring gaps left by colonial dispossession. Rikhotso described the exhibition’s reimagined cave realm and its tribute to Botswana artist Coex’ae Qgam as acts of self-authored cultural memory.
