THE STORY, IN BRIEF
Megan Vermaak’s March 2020 ArtThrob student review considered Helen Nabukenya’s textile installation Abalamu Baseesa Gwaka at the Stellenbosch Triennale. She described fabric offcuts gathered in Kampala and stitched with women from the artist’s community, who could make their own compositional choices. Vermaak interpreted the collaborative process as a source of agency and belonging, connecting the prominent red fabric with energy and the exhibition’s collective theme.
