In Situ Gallery, presents the exhibition A Land Without A People… For A People Without A Land by WHATIFTHEWORLD artist Athi-Patra Ruga. The exhibition runs from 10 September until 31 October 2015 at In Situ, Paris, France.
Azania is a borderless country, one without geography. “A Land without a People for a People without a Land”. Azania is a utopian region characterized by fantasy, resistance, affirmation and frivolity. A kingdom for outcasts seeking refuge or a stage to express themselves. A region adorned with tropical colors, which is populated by characters whose identities are in a state of transformation. Athi Patra-Ruga constructs, through protean writing, a universe where South African and odd aesthetic traditions meet, where ancestral mythologies are a part of festive artifacts, with cheap accessories and an irresistible insouciance.
WHATIFTHEWORLD is pleased to announce that Athi-Patra Ruga is featured as the first icon on Season 3 of 21 Icons which will be showcased on SABC 3 this Sunday, 6 Septmeber at 19:27.
21 Icons is the next generation of South African leaders, influencers and role models exploring these creative and exceptional young people’s lives who are shaping our future.
