Cinga Samson “Amadoda Akafani, Afana Ngeentshebe Zodwa (Men Are Different Though They Look Alike)”
Galerie Perrotin
This event has ended.
Perrotin presents Amadoda Akafani, Afana Ngeentshebe Zodwa (men are different, though they look alike), an exhibition of 28 new paintings by Cape Town based artist Cinga Samson, marking the artist’s first solo exhibition at Perrotin.
The title of the exhibition are words from Samson’s father. His father had expected him to pursue a profession that would be financially stabilizing. Considering the legacies of colonialism and apartheid, his father’s concerns weren’t without cause. His father, the artist says, said those words to affirm him and his choices, to affirm his individual humanity and his decision to pursue art.
