De installaties van Nicholas Hlobo (Kaapstad, 1975) zijn rijk aan kleuren, stoffen en borduursels. Ze doen denken aan de kleurrijke kleding van Afrikaanse vrouwen. Maar bij nadere beschouwing ontvouwt zich de tweede laag die refereert aan het gruwelijke en gewelddadige verleden van het Zuid-Afrika van de apartheid en post-apartheid.
Nicholas Hlobo (Cape Town, 1975) makes installations which abound in colours, textiles and embroidery. They are reminiscent of the colourful clothing of African women. But a closer look reveals the second layer which refers to the gruesome and violent past of South Africa during apartheid and after apartheid. A past which a black homosexual artist cannot escape. Hlobo’s urge to make the history and culture of his country known all over the world through his work is inextricably connected to his native soil. Like Nelson Mandela, Steve Biko and Desmond Tutu, Hlobo comes from the traditional Xhosa community in the east of the Cape. The Xhosa community is characterized by traditions and customs which are passed on from generation to generation.
