'Conflicting Contexts'
Various Artists at Durban Art Gallery

This exhibition, curated by Vaughn Sadie, explores the conflicts inherent within the collection of the Durban Art Gallery. In its 119 years of existence as a public institution, the gallery has witnessed and recorded the ideological and political shifts that have shaped our country and the city of Durban. Using key works from the gallery's Victorian collection as its departure point, 'Conflicting Contexts' juxtaposes the prevailing themes of the period against more contemporary depictions of similar themes. The placement of the works in relation to each other reflects aspects of social history and the universal nature of recurring themes.

Mon - Sat 8.30am - 4pm, Sun 11am - 4pm
