An exhibition with a 7,794 mile journey, Transatlantic Hemispheres includes the work of six South African contemporary artists, all of whom are based in Cape Town. The artists work in a variety of techniques and mediums which depict their own unique experiences within the current social and political climate of South Africa. All exhibition pieces were created after 2020, and broach subjects such as identity, migration, land, heritage, and language. Essentially prompting a collective examination of what art can be in a post-pandemic world.
Lianca Heemro (1998), born and raised in the coastal city of Cape Town, South Africa, is a transdisciplinary artist whose artistic practice combines painting, installation, audio-visual and spatial art. In 2020, she graduated from The Cape Town Creative Academy with a BA in Contemporary Art. Heemro is very connected to interpreting social and cultural experiences - especially of her own, in order to tell stories. In 2021, she initiated an ongoing project, Ko re, which translates from khoekhoegowab as ‘look’ - the general concept which drives most of her paintings. Her painting project facilitates her interest in human cognition, perception, and memory archaeology. With family originally from Namaqualand, the background story of her paintings pay tribute to her cultural heritage. Her goal is to bring awareness to the Nama language which is mostly only spoken in South Africa, Botswana, and Namibia.
