Garingani wa Garingani: Remember the Forgotten People | Invitation
BNAP Foundation presents Garingani Wa Garingani a solo exhibition by Khanyisa Agnes Brancon. The 2025 Blessing Ngobeni Art Prize winner will be exhibiting her new body of work at the prestigious Everard Read Cape Town on the 8th of October 2025. "Garingani Wa Garingani" these words carry the weight of ancestral breath, the sacred invocation that opens the-doorway between worlds. In the Tsonga tradition, this phrase is not merely an introduction but a spiritual summoning, calling forth the voices of those who have walked before us, their stories woven into the fabric of our being like threads in an eternal tapestry.   This exhibition emerges from the liminal space between memory and presence, between the earth of Tzaneen and the concrete arteries of urban existence.   It is an offering to the maternal lineage that flows through me like a river finding its way to the sea, each woman a tributary, each choice a bend in the waterway that shapes the landscape of my identity.The exhibition unfolds across three interconnected realms, each medium serving as a vessel for different aspects of the waterway that shapes the landscape of my identity unfolds across three interconnected realms, each medium serving as a vessel for different aspects of the ancestral narrative: Photographic Dialogues, Printmaking and Sculptural Installations.   The exhibition positions itself as one moment in an ongoing conversation that spans generations, a single frame in a film that began long before our birth and will continue long after our death. It honors the cyclical nature of storytelling, the way each telling adds new layers of meaning while preserving the essential truth of the narrative."Through this work, I offer my own voice to the chorus of ancestral storytelling, adding my chapter to the ongoing epic of human migration, cultural adaptation, and the eternal search for home.".   Visitors are invited to experience Garingani Wa Garingani as a testament to the power of art to serve as a bridge between worlds, a vessel for the transmission of wisdom,and a sanctuary for the celebration of our shared humanity.
