Making meaning

"We have all of these self-publishing tools but then you’re still calling out into the void. I think a critical thing is generating something that is meaningful. As artists we all fall victim to the idea that the audience has to be bigger and bigger. It's nice to have a big audience but maybe the audience is just 10 people and that can also be a meaningful exchange. It doesn't have to be five and a half thousand likes."

As part of her ongoing project Social, curator Khanya Mashabela collects oral histories of artist-led project spaces in South Africa to complement a growing archive of associated printed matter, photographs, and digital assets collated through an open call to local arts practitioners.
