Moshekwa Langa’s Tropic of Capricorn resisted a fixed reading

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

ArtThrob’s January 2020 review of Moshekwa Langa’s Tropic of Capricorn at Stevenson in Cape Town considered works built from unstable forms, layered surfaces and unconventional materials. The critic interpreted their fragmentation as a resistance to settled meaning, relating Langa’s practice to experiences of displacement and uncertainty. Rather than treating the exhibition as a single narrative, the review followed its shifting relationships between matter, memory and perception.
