These artworks will be digitally collated and reintroduced back into the exhibition via a feedback projection, developing conversations on decolonisation that might otherwise remain unearthed amongst young people. What Remains Through Erosion and Time is an exploratory live performance with visual artist Sonya Rademeyer, Creative Research Lab and the Roodewal Meraka community situated outside of Bloemfontein. It explores cultural decolonisation within the context of the National Museum in Greater Mangaung. An art exhibition that challenges contemporary solo exhibition practices through concepts of decolonisation, collaboration and co-creation, it includes community and more-than-human (live snails) participation. Informed by indigenous practice is a wall of clay and animal dung. The performance enables dialogue and reflection with themes of decolonisation.
