Weaverbirds: Rooted in Resilience
Osart Gallery, in collaboration with Galleria Giampaolo Abbondio, presents "Weaverbirds: Rooted in Resilience", featuring artists María Magdalena Campos-Pons and Sethembile Msezane.
Osart, Corso Plebisciti 12, 20129, Milan, Italy
The exhibition explores post-colonial themes of tradition, spirituality, identity, and the role of women in contemporary society. While their backgrounds differ, both artists seek to redefine their identities, ravaged by colonial violence. Using the weaverbird as a guiding totem, Campos-Pons and Msezane address the search for roots, ethnic minority representation, and historical memory, through powerful works that blend personal, cultural, and spiritual perspectives.
