Friday, 13 June 2025 from 18h00, Baloyi launches an exhibition she has curated — inspired by the title of Nadia Davids’ seminal play (2006), At their Feet — that breaks down the silos of artistic production by pairing artists and asking them to instill practices of care by being in service to their fellow colleague. The exhibition will be held at Lemkus Gallery in Cape Town.
Each artist has produced artworks that grapple with themes personal to their identity, worldview, lived experience, or what they find themselves contending with at this particular moment in their practice. These artworks have then been further engaged
with by one of their contemporaries who produces a work in response to theirs. At every step each artist has had to consider what acts of care have meant for them, how they would wish to approach a fellow artist’s artwork, and how they would wish for their work to be approached.
In the end, with the help of you as our audience, we will produce a working lexicon of what responsiveness, reciprocity, and relativity can look like within the context of artistic production when dealing with a diverse set of worldviews, experiences, and identities. Here, the concept of revolutionary (m)othering finds root within the exhibition’s working methodology.
