From the Vault reread two South African university collections

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

Reviewing From the Vault for ArtThrob in March 2020, Annabelle Wienand examined how works from Stellenbosch and Fort Hare university collections were brought into dialogue at the Stellenbosch Triennale. She argued that thematic groupings complicated familiar divisions in South African art history, allowing everyday experience, oppression and different artistic languages to coexist. Her review treated this rearrangement of inherited collections as a way to imagine other futures.
