WHATIFTHEWORLD is pleased to announce that Lungiswa Gqunta is included (as part of the IQhiya Collective) in the 2018 Glasgow International Festival which opens on Friday. IQhiya’s project will take place at 6pm, on the 20th of April at Transmission (28 King Street Glasgow G1 5QP), followed by an exhibition which will run until the 7th of May.
Working across disciplines from video art to printmaking, photography, sculpture and performance, iQhiya’s collective making seeks to challenge traditional gendered and racialised expectations of black womxn artists. Consistent with how their collective practice has integrated calls to decolonise public institutions, iQhiya will produce a site-specific response to the historical and contemporary erasure of womxn artists of colour within Scotland.
