Midi de l'Art: Igshaan Adams - Between then and now
The South African artist Igshaan Adams works with textiles, sculpture, and performance. He transforms overlooked materials from everyday life in Cape Town into powerful meditations on collective belonging, resilience, and care. "Igshaan Adams: Between Then and Now" will bring together existing works and new commissions: monumental tapestries set with beads, chains, ropes, and ribbons, as well as a large-scale immersive installation of his 'dance prints.' Inspired by his memories of apartheid-era South Africa, suspended sculptures installed in situ explore the impact of lived experiences on the human psyche and the healing potential of movement and dance. The exhibition will also feature a selection of textile samples from the artist's studio, which visitors will be invited to discover and touch. Through his collaborative practice, Adams affirms art as a means of healing and connection—a vital necessity in our times. With over sixty works created in the past decade, this exhibition is the most comprehensive display to date of the artist's work.
