Senzeni Marasela’s installation of works at Koyo Kouoh’s tremendous ‘In Minor Keys’ at the 61st International Art Exhibition at La Biennale di Venezia is on preview and opens to the public tomorrow.

Marasela presents an installation of seven large-scale suspended textile works that incorporate cascading lengths of red wool hand-stitched onto tjali, mixed-fabric ceremonial blankets.

The stitch patterns trace maps of mine slopes that have collapsed, and the titles refer to notorious mining disasters in South Africa, with their location, date and human toll.

Our heartfelt congratulations to Senzeni for producing this monumental body of work and also to the ‘In Minor Keys’ curatorial team for all of their assistance these past 8 months.

As we get closer to the opening of the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia ‘In Minor Keys’, we look forward to seeing you next week in Venice with Senzeni Marasela.

‘In Minor Keys’, curated by Koyo Kouoh, will unfold across the Arsenale, Giardini and multiple sites throughout the city. This brings together a dynamic constellation of artists alongside a host of other exhibitions and national pavilions on show.

Taking place in the days leading up to the official opening on Saturday, 9 May 2026, the pre-opening offers an early moment to engage with Kouoh’s expansive curatorial vision, one grounded in relationality, resonance, and a commitment to artist-centred practice. ‘In Minor Keys’ reflects a deeply collaborative process, shaped alongside Kouoh’s curatorial team and carried forward in honour of her enduring legacy.

As ‘Always Becoming’ enters its final days, we return to Anico Mostert’s paintings as sites of quiet transition, where the self is continuously unfolding, extending beyond what can be easily named.

Mostert’s practice moves through what resists language. She encapsulates the unfamiliar terrain where the self expands and reconfigures. Her paintings on canvas and paper accumulate in layers, each surface built through intuitive marks that hold the weight of lived experience and emotional memory.

This body of work understands identity as motion rather than fixture. With expressive colour and gestural brushwork, Mostert translates the ongoing act of transformation, reminding us that we exist perpetually in process. These are paintings about change as constant, about the self as something we move through rather than arrive at.

We invite you to visit our Loop Street gallery to experience Anico Mostert’s second solo exhibition with the gallery, ‘Always Becoming’. For more information, visit the viewing room via the link in our bio.

Joining EBONY/CURATED for their first EXPO Chicago showcase are emerging contemporaries Kamohelo Blessing Rooi and Balekane Legoabe, along side Senzeni Marasela.

Rooi’s practice is rooted in Soweto’s lived experiences and social rhythms. Drawing from photographs, personal encounters, and everyday scenes, Rooi captures moments of fashion, friendship and introspection, oscillating between intimacy and monumentality through his evolving visual language.

Legoabe explores the relationship between nature, spirituality, and identity through personal and collective histories. Influenced by ancient rock art and African, Eastern, and Western mythologies, she weaves language, metaphor, and ritual into layered narratives that mirror natural cycles of birth, decline, resilience, and change.

Completing the line-up is Senzeni Marasela, whose large-scale fabric works engage with the lived experiences of Black South African women through historical and personal narratives. Through acts of stitching, repetition, and embodied storytelling, Marasela foregrounds memory, resilience, and intergenerational dialogue. Her work is held in major international collections, including MoMA (New York), the Smithsonian (Washington), the Newark Museum of Art (New Jersey), and the Iziko South African National Gallery (Cape Town).
