Epigraph
Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum, William Kentridge, and Maxwell Alexandre approach narrative as a space of transformation, reimagining how stories might hold multiplicity and motion. For more than two decades, Sunstrum has developed a visual mythology populated by recurring figures who traverse overlapping geographies, temporalities, and philosophies. Her central protagonist, a chimerical traveller, embodies hybridity and becoming. The work inquires as to what might emerge when history is recast through imagination, proposing the act of storytelling as a radical gesture of resistance. Kentridge’s practice echoes this restlessness of form and thought. His drawings are built through acts of erasure and revision, allowing process itself to become the subject. The marks he leaves behind – traces of removal, redrawing, and hesitation – constitute a visual record of thinking. Alexandre extends this sense of motion into a collective register. His paintings of Rio de Janeiro’s social and spiritual life transform the figure into a vessel of community, rhythm, and affirmation. Together, Sunstrum, Kentridge, and Alexandre approach narrative not as resolution but as continuum, each locating the possibility of reworlding within the fluidity of becoming.
