Transposing an Echo: Reimagining Oral Setswana Poetry through Digital Intervention
Thursday, 7 August 2025 - Thursday, 25 September 2025
AVA Gallery (Association for Visual Arts)
Cape Town, western-cape
The digital artist's book Three Bird Poems contemplates some of the cultural values embedded in Setswana oral poetry and grapples with how the oral tradition of performing poetry offers a proverbial lens into themes that may have once been cultural norms. Through parallax animation, such moments are visualised as moving freeze frames, interestingly preserving oral memory through digital motion.
