Ravelle Pillay: History Hammered by Time
At the heart of this exhibition is the sense of history that is intimate and personal. It enabled the artist to extend these sentiments to discourse what is political without it enveloping what is delicate about personal history.

Yinka Shonibare
Shonibare created an exhibition where he wanted to show the spiritual and universal function of the African aesthetic. He created a stylised collection of works that he sought to find an historic discourse for without losing the trace of the abstract and literal interaction with western influences.
