Events

Together with Tuli Mekondjo and Zenaéca Singh, visitors explore their installations created especially for the exhibition “A Kind of Paradise” and learn more about their work with materials such as sugar, earth, and light.

Tuli Mekondjo is a self-taught Namibian artist based in Windhoek, Namibia. Her multimedia works honor her forebears, fertility, and continuity, while commenting on gendered struggle, intergenerational trauma, and displacement. Drawing on colonial and wartime photographic archives, her practice explores Namibian history and identity politics.

Zenaéca Singh lives and works in Cape Town. Her work explores the complex legacy of South Africa’s sugar economy, investigating its connections to migration, colonialism, labor exploitation, and the gendered dynamics of the domestic sphere.
