Vital Signs
This exhibition showcases the diverse artistic practices of Michaelis staff, responding to themes of environmental and social interconnectedness. Reflecting on the urgency of ecological crises and acts of care in overlooked spaces, the works explore edges, interstices, and entanglements of human and non-human existence.
Shared Edges
At the Vital Signs exhibition the public were invited to make souvenir prints of five linocuts images taken from camera traps on the fringes of UCT: a genet, grysbok, caracal, honey badger and porcupine.
R-A-T
Fritha Langerman’s 2012-13 exhibition R-A-T will be re-curated on the UCT’s Upper Campus at the start of 2023. This exhibition draws attention to the commensal Rattus norvegicus and its social relationship to humans. In this context it also focusses on the impact of rodent poisoning on the animal populations that share the campus and surrounds.
