A new exhibit at the Iziko South African National Gallery in Cape Town is a retrospective focusing on the life and works of the beloved Esther Mahlangu. Spanning decades of work, the exhibit showcases her diverse, bold and often large-scale works, which fused aspects of her Ndebele culture with the contemporary. The exhibition charts Mahlangu’s contribution to contemporary art with more than 100 artworks loaned from international collections, alongside a selection of historic photographs and a short film. The diverse collection will offer a comprehensive yet intimate insight into her vast career. DESIGN INDABA
