Interrogating the marks of colonialism – An art-based conversation: Athi-Patra Ruga & Irma Stern

"The Irma Stern Museum in Cape Town has been transformed into a site of conversation between the works of the late Irma Stern and those of contemporary artist Athi-Patra Ruga. The works produced by Ruga are not only a celebration of Stern’s technique but also a critical reflection on the colonial elements that come through in her pieces."

The exhibition was curated by Daehnke and Ruga, in partnership with What If The World Gallery, which represents Ruga. It opened for public viewing on 31 March and will run until 18 June. The museum is open by appointment to the general public on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 10 am to 5 pm. On Saturdays, it is open from 10 am to 2 pm.
