A CALLING IS RARELY A SINGULAR OR SOLITARY EXPERIENCE. IT

ARRIVES IN DIFFERENT FORMS, THROUGH THE PEOPLE WE COME

FROM, THE HISTORIES WE INHERIT, THE SPIRITS THAT GUIDE US, AND

THE RESPONSIBILITIES WE ARE ASKED TO ASSUME. IN THIS, IT IS

SOMETHING WE SPEND OUR LIVES DELIBERATING WITH, LEARNING

HOW TO ANSWER, RESIST, OR CARRY.

THIS EXHIBITION EMERGES AS A SITE OF GATHERING, A SPACE IN

WHICH THESE CALLINGS ARE BROUGHT INTO RELATION. THROUGH THE

PRACTICES OF EACH ARTIST, WE ENCOUNTER THE WAYS IN WHICH

MEMORY, SPIRITUALITY, IDENTITY, AND INHERITANCE SHAPE OUR

UNDERSTANDING OF WHO WE ARE AND WHO WE ARE BECOMING -

INVITING US TO CONSIDER THE WAYS WE MAY EACH BE CALLED.

TO GATHER, KUSONDELA.

TO SHARE WITNESS TO THE EXPERIENCES OF THE CALL, ASKING WHAT

IT MEANS TO BE CALLED, TO ANSWER AND TO BEAR THE WEIGHT OF

WHAT IS LARGER THAN OUR OWN LIVES.

PERHAPS, IN GATHERING, WE BEGIN THE ACT OF DRAWING CLOSER -

ALLOWS US THE VOICES THAT HAVE BEEN SPEAKING ALL ALONG TO

BE.

ANSWERING A CALLING IS NOT ALWAYS ABOUT KNOWING WHERE WE

ARE GOING, BUT ABOUT LEARNING HOW TO REMAIN IN RELATION TO

THOSE WHO HAVE BROUGHT US HERE.

TO CARRY ON.
