At its core, the Feminine Energy is a meditation on feminine energy, characterised by fluidity, intuition, and deep creativity.
It brings together a powerful collective of multidisciplinary women artists whose practices span beadwork, oil painting, mixed media, printmaking, and performance. Each artist explores themes of self-representation, Black womanhood, transformation, home, and heritage, weaving personal and ancestral narratives into their work.
The featured artists, Samantha Maseko, Tiisetso Banda, Lineo Buhlungu, Nomonde Kananda, Nqobile Mkari, Landiwe Shabalala, Mbalemnyama Radebe, Nomvula Hoko, and Mabontle Phetla, are not only technically accomplished but deeply intentional. Their work resists categorisation, but the commonality in embracing vulnerability, ritual, and reclamation is ever-present. Whether through the tactile and persevered intimacy of beadwork or the layered symbolism of printmaking, each multidimensional piece pulses with emotional resonance and cultural depth.
Performance artist Tiisetso Banda adds a live dimension to the exhibition, embodying the ephemeral and intuitive nature of feminine expression.
What does it mean to create from a place of softness? How do we honour the stories carried in our bodies, our lineages, our textures? In a society that often privileges masculine modes of doing, this exhibition is a radical act of being.
As the exhibition draws to a close tomorrow on Saturday, 08 November, it leaves behind more than just visual impressions it leaves a call to reconnect. To honour the feminine not as a gender, but as a vital force of healing, intuition, and transformation in an African context.
