Review: The first Stellenbosch Triennale tested art’s relationship to place

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

ArtThrob’s review of the inaugural Stellenbosch Triennale examined how contemporary African art engaged a town marked by unequal histories and restricted access. The critic singled out installations by Sethembile Msezane, Bronwyn Katz and Ibrahim Mahama for their attention to land, memory and labour. Alongside praise, the review questioned uneven artistic contributions, visa barriers and the durability of an ambitious noncommercial platform funded by local investors and businesses.
