'What we see'. Exhibition

We had an interview with Anette Hoffman who is the curator of The exhibition, 'What we see'. The exhibition opened at the Iziko Slave Lodge on 26 February 2009. It criticises racial stereotyping by interrogating the distorted 'scientifically' generated images of Namibia's indigenous people.

The exhibition engages with culturally generated images or ways of seeing in the way of juxtaposing a case-history of the production of images of "natives", their voiced and recorded reactions to this, and contemporary South African artworks that reflect on ways of looking at and representing people.

This compelling and thought-provoking exhibition runs until the end of May 2009. A walkabout, led by curator Anette Hoffmann will take place at the following time; well worth attending.
