LXXVIII. Art ćakula: nedjelja, 21. sijećanj 2024.
Izlagač: Gugulethu Ndlalani
Moderator: Jelena Simić
Na LXXVIII. Art ćakuli pod nazivom “Belonging, blinded choices. We belong because of choices…!!” imali smo čast da predstavimo našeg gosta izlagača, talentovanog fotografa Gugulethua Ndlalanija, poreklom iz Johanesburga u Južnoj Africi, tačnije iz živopisnog grada Soveta, koji u velikoj meri utiče na njegovu umetnost. Kao kreativni direktor kolaborativnog projekta pod nazivom Broken Villages, Guguletu se prvenstveno fokusira na dokumentovanje afričkih narativa i njihove veze sa svetom. Guguletuovo umetničko putovanje počelo je kada je otkrio svoju strast za stvaranjem vizuelnih priča. Bez ikakve formalne obuke, usavršavao je svoje veštine kroz eksperimentisanje i samoučenje. Crpeći inspiraciju iz kulturno bogatog nasleđa Afrike, Guguletu ima za cilj da izazove stereotipe i prikaže raznoliku i zamršenu prirodu afričkog iskustva.
At the LXXVIII Art Talk, we had the privilege of introducing our guest exhibitor, the talented photographer Gugulethu Ndlalani, hailing from Johannesburg, South Africa, specifically from the vibrant city of Soweto, which greatly influenced his artistic endeavours. As the creative director of the collaborative project called Broken Villages, Gugulethu primarily focuses on capturing African narratives and their connection with the world. Gugulethu’s artistic journey commenced when he discovered his passion for crafting visual stories. Without any formal training, he refined his skills through experimentation and self-study. Drawing inspiration from Africa’s culturally rich heritage, Gugulethu aims to challenge stereotypes and showcase the diverse and intricate nature of the African experience.
