Artists: Keiskamma Art Project - Pippa Hetherington - Asanda Kupa - Boyce Magandela - Lionel Mbayiwa - Henk Serfontein

Bonne Espérance Gallery presents large-scale embroidered works created by the Keiskamma Art Project from South Africa in collaboration with five South African artists – Pippa Hetherington, Asanda Kupa, Boyce Magandela, Lionel Mbayiwa and Henk Serfontein.

The artists of Keiskamma and the four collaborating artists come from very different backgrounds and work in very different media. Keiskamma is a collective of rural embroidery artists. The collaborating artists are urban-based painters, sculptors and photographers.

Each work we present was created by numerous artists. The result blurs the boundaries between art and craft, individual effort and ego and celebrates the power of collaborative and collective creativity.
