Sue Williamson, Lebohang Kganye, on Memory, Storytelling and Forgiveness, at the Barnes Foundation

Hello, sorry to say that this exhibition is now over but we wanted to share Lane’s review and the images of the works. The review looks at the Barnes Foundation’s recent exhibition Tell Me What You Remember which explores temporality, memory, and cultural inheritance in South Africa pre and post Apartheid. We hope you enjoy and endeavor to learn more about both artists.
