Looking Towards Freedom: Womxn Artists from Africa Opening: 8 October 2024 at 11:00 - 12 October 2024 Participating: Irma Stern, Maggie Laubser, Bertha Everard, Gladys Mgudlandlu, Bertina Lopes, Kate Gottgens, Georgina Gratrix, Turiya Magadlela, Mary Sibande, Lisa Brice, Amanda Mushate, Helent Teede, Ruth Everard-Haden, Esther Mahlangu, Judith Mason, Penny Siopis Kate Fellens and the Directors of Strauss & Co invite you to Art Club London‘s exhibition of Modern and Contemporary African Art.
This will be Strauss & Co’s most significant activity in London to date, and 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.
