Looking Towards Freedom: Womxn Artists from Africa
Maison Pan, Hobhouse Court, Whitcomb St, off Trafalgar Square, London, WC2H 7HA | 8 – 12 October 2024 | 11am – 4.30pm
Strauss & Co’s London selling exhibition Looking Towards Freedom: Womxn Artists from Africa will focus on the enduring originality, resilience and courage of African women and non-binary artists. It will juxtapose, in this special artist studio space in central London, modernist pioneers like Irma Stern, Ruth Everard-Haden, Maggie Laubser and Gladys Mgudlandlu, with later 20th century innovators Esther Mahlangu, Judith Mason and Penny Siopis.
Many of these award-winning artists have appeared in high-profile international exhibitions this year. Laubser, Mahlangu, Mgudlandlu and Stern all appear in curator Adriano Pedrosa’s main exhibition at the 60th Venice Biennale and also in 2024, Mahlangu, Muholi and Siopis have been the subject of career surveys at museums in Cape Town, London and Athens respectively. Teede was an inaugural fellow of the Tracey Emin Artist Residency. For all enquiries please email kate@straussart.co.za.
