Provenance Part II - Banele Khoza

What is considered archival work and what is designated as art are often perceived as conceptually distinct practices. However, The Provenance Part II blurs that line, proving that the two can share commonalities. Lukhanyo Mdingi’s latest iteration of The Provenance at Constitution Hill offers a space for deep contemplation. It’s an intellectual experience, manifested creatively, set within a milieu that naturally transports you into a state of remembrance - a tangible reminder of the past - preserved, less than delicately, as a formidable introspection into South Africa’s history.
We sat down with co-curator Banele Khoza to talk about creatively contextualising the past in a physical space, what it was like working alongside curator and friend Lukhanyo Mdingi, and the importance of architecture.
