Kemang Wa Lehulere: Sincerely yours,

Gasworks reopens with the first UK solo exhibition by South African artist Kemang Wa Lehulere.

Unravelling the relationships between personal and collective histories, amnesia and the archive, Wa Lehulere’s practice explores how South Africa’s past continues to haunt the present. Inspired by theatre and set design, his drawings, performances and sculptures are often conceived as ‘rehearsals’, framed by longer-term research projects about motifs such as the act of falling or the unfaithfulness of language. In recent years, Wa Lehulere has also worked as part of the collectives Gugulective (2006–ongoing) and the Center for Historical Reenactments (2010–ongoing). Read more.
