$I. The Detail of Subduction: a conversation tracing the faults along land masses whose imagined boundaries rend, raze, and fracture along the points of their meeting. Serving as a foreword to the exhibition titled: Tectonics, The African Plate: The Architecture of Geopolitical Upheaval, we frame and situate the works in the storied context of the heart of Johannesburg. Ogorogile Nong begins the conversation with an aural response. The room is soon awash with a wall of sound that begins as granular moments, remnants of frictional encounter with self and other, collapsing ripwise ebb and flow with the shore of memory. The room widens itself to hold the rupture. It is still. It is more than silent.$

Currently On View, the exhibition 𝘽𝙚𝙩𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙃𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙀𝙡𝙨𝙚𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 gathers the voices of the Tlhagella Incubation Programmes’ top 10 artists, whose works reflect on history, the body, and the spaces they occupy or inhabit. The title Between Here and Elsewhere speaks to a sense of being in more than one place at once. Between the spiritual and the physical, between past and present, between intergenerational and the self, between home and elsewhere, and even between memory and lived experience.

The exhibition is curated by Puleng Plessie @pplessie in collaboration with the participating Tlhagella artists and the Javett-UP curatorial team.

Studios become sites of excavation as memory and resistance begin to gather form. What is emerging is not a singular narrative, but a shifting architecture of Black geopolitical upheaval.
