Hellen Nabukenya stitched textile lives into the Stellenbosch Triennale

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

In her March 2020 ArtThrob student review, Brittney Moolman explored Hellen Nabukenya’s large textile installation at the Stellenbosch Triennale. She considered how collaborative sewing, contrasting fabrics and the work’s placement shaped its social meanings. Reading it beside a neighbouring installation of workers’ overalls, Moolman reflected on textile labour and discarded materials, offering a situated interpretation rather than a verified account of every fabric’s origin.
