Artist Talk

Ekow Eshun (Writer and 1-54 Forum Curator) in conversation with artist Athi-Patra Ruga on his practice and first major solo exhibition in the UK, Of Gods, Rainbows and Omissions, currently on display at Somerset House. Through mythical characters set in dramatic scenes and presented in multiple mediums, Ruga criticises and parodies South Africa’s political status quo, ideas of utopia and the pre-colonial.
