Lebohang Kganye: Haufi nyana? I’ve come to take you home – A Photography Exhibition at Foam Fotografiemuseum

This exhibition showcases the work of Lebohang Kganye, who explores her family's personal and collective micro-histories, contextualized within South Africa's pre- and post-apartheid history. The display highlights her diverse visual vocabulary across photographic montages, spatial installations, film animation, and patchwork, delving into themes of home and photographic autobiography.

Lebohang Kganye delves into her family's micro-histories, weaving them into the broader historical tapestry of South Africa's pre- and post-apartheid and colonial eras. The exhibition, titled 'Haufi nyana?' (meaning 'Too close?' in Sesotho), probes the intimate dialogue between viewer and artist within photographic autobiography and the complex notion of 'home'. Kganye employs a rich visual vocabulary, utilizing methods to decolonize photography and South African cultural heritage through a variety of approaches including photographic montages, spatial installations, film animation, and patchwork. Kganye, a recipient of the Foam Paul Huf Award, is recognized for her engaging exploration of identity and heritage. Her artistic practice is rooted in her introduction to photography at the Market Photo Workshop in Johannesburg. The exhibition's title itself invites contemplation on proximity, personal narratives, and the multifaceted concept of belonging, mirroring the artist's intricate engagement with her own biography and its wider societal implications.
