Words by Malibongwe of SKATTIE WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?
AT THE OPENING OF ATHI-PATRA RUGA'S FUTURE WHITE WOMEN OF AZANIA SAGA
I snapped these last week at Whatiftheworld at the opening
of Athi’s new solo show. This one was a bit of a family affair so I’m not gonna
go on and on about how mind-blowingly amazing it is to behold because some of
y’all skeptic skatties are gonna assume I’m biased anyway. Thankfully the show does not at all
need my help; it’s pretty fucking awesome. The pieces will be up until the 8th
of Feb, so if you haven’t seen it yet I recommend you pay the gallery a visit.
For those who might not be familiar with Athi’s technique; those are hand
embroidered tapestries (obvs except the photos, stained glass piece and
installation), and you need to do yourself a favour and stand in front of one
to fully appreciate their awesomeness. For now though, enjoy the images.
