Igshaan Adams: Kicking Dust, a curator’s introduction
Igshaan Adams’ single immersive environment enables you to experience weaving in its many different forms
It’s been constructed for his first solo UK show, Kicking Dust, a title rooted in Rieldans, an Indigenous dance of Adams’ Cape Town background, which would see the participants kick up clouds of dust.
As Tarini Malik, Hayward Gallery curator, explains in this video, the notion of dust, and its symbolism, is evoked throughout the exhibition in the artist’s delicate sculptural works, which hang from the ceiling.
‘This surreal woven landscape that Igshaan has produced is centred around histories, and sociopolitical histories, of the apartheid and Cape Town’
