An understanding of African time which describes the phenomena as constantly expanding across the past and present, a time that is never finished.” ⏳✨

I keep coming back here, I don't know why, a group exhibition curated by Aza Lithalethu Mbovane ().

Responding to Kenyan Philosopher John S. Mbiti’s 1969 concept of the ‘unlimited past,’ this exhibition offers a non-linear approach to history. Through diverse mediums, the participating artists explore the act of returning—to forms, to knowledge, and to stories that persist, probing whether a record can be described as a feeling, a register, or an event.

From Katlego C. L. Twala’s tender oils tracing matrilineal connections to Moshekwa Langa’s collision of memory and fact, and Zainab Choonara’s etched prayer mats—the works capture the compulsion to chronicle tangible moments alongside metaphysical timestamps.
