Join us from 11am until 2pm on Saturday 10 October for the opening of Boemo Diale’s latest solo exhibition.

“There’s an old Tswana description of time that might make you think a little differently about the moon next time you look at it: each day ends with a crocodile eating the sun and excreting the moon. It’s an image that has pressed on Boemo Diale’s mind for quite some time. So what does she see when she looks up at the night sky?

“I wrote a little story about the passing of time in relation to Tswana cosmology and other indigenous cosmologies,” she says. “And also looking at maternal knowledge.”

The result of that story – along with a lot of painting and the making of ceramic vessels – is a new exhibition titled So Quick the Crocodile Has Eaten the Sun.”
