The Almas Art Foundation launched a publication and a documentary film, exploring the trajectory of South African artist Andile Dyalvane’s practice in the Eastern Cape.
Filmed in Dyalvane’s Slat River studio, Southern Guild’s Cape Town gallery, Friedman Benda’s New York gallery, and other locations, Ancestral Wisdom: Ubunzuluwazi Lwabaphantsi features interviews with the artist and his close collaborators. The 184-page monograph provides a career survey with texts by Olivia Barrell and Alexis Nkuthazo Dyalvane.
The book is available for purchase on the Almas Art Foundation’s website.
