MADEYOULOOK brought land, sound and Indigenous knowledge to Venice

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

In ArtThrob, Claudia Marion Stemberger considered MADEYOULOOK’s Dinokana within Quiet Ground, the 2024 South African Pavilion curated by Portia Malatjie. Her account connected its voices, environmental sounds, suspended plants and spatial arrangements to ancestral relationships with land and water. Rather than treating the pavilion as spectacle, the review explored how the installation asserted Indigenous knowledge and agency against histories of dispossession and colonial representation.
