‘The Bellowing Mind’, the first solo exhibition by young Tuli Mekondjo, will kick off at the Franco-Namibian Cultural Centre on Monday, 15 August at 18h30.
The exhibition offers a very personal vision of the mind and trauma, through mixed media which promised to carry the viewer away to a universe where confusion, mental distress, beauty and optimism are one.
Mekondjo represents a mental struggle of the self. As a self-taught visual artist, her work arises from a personal vision and the figments of unresolved pain which are waiting to be reborn.
Infused with a sense of confusion and anguish with moments of beauty, clarity and optimism, in its layers, memories, visions and associations are intertwined, pushing themselves to the fore, before fading out and twisting into other forms of thought.
Traumatic reenactments emerge as constant compulsive repetitions in an attempt to revisit the unresolved miseries trapped unconsciously.
‘The Bellowing Mind’ will be opened by Erik Schnack and will run until 8 September. Entrance is free.
