Mawande Ka Zenzile’s Udludlilali opened multiple ways of knowing

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

In a March 2020 ArtThrob review, Vusumzi Nkomo considered Mawande Ka Zenzile’s Udludlilali at Stevenson in Cape Town through Xhosa cosmology and its dialogue with Sisonkepapu’s poetry. Nkomo described paintings, sculpture and disruptive sound as challenges to dominant ideas of artistic knowledge, while questioning the exhibition’s reliance on English text. The review documents a critical encounter with Black spiritual and aesthetic traditions.
