The Grass is singing

Artsy Exclusive Black History month exhibition

01 Feb - 28 Feb

Focus can be directed towards strife and despondency just as easily as possibility, and great accomplishment. Every era of time has thrown the citizens of the world into frenzies of hatred and atrocious acts against humanity. Simultaneously, hope and progress, in their illuminated pockets, have always continued to quietly go to work. The Grass Is Singing turns the face of focus towards the acknowledgement and appreciation of the present as a time of harvest.

As a black owned art gallery, stationed in Johannesburg South Africa, BKhz honours and celebrates black creators in every space they inhabit. There is an organised dedication which has led not only to the gallery’s existence, but to the channels which have allowed it to work with some of the most incredible thinkers, makers, and wayfarers from Africa and its diaspora. Someone tuned to the heart of all that is, has been, and ever will be once said “Harmony is all the sounds”: Disruption, angst, strength, silence, joy, noise, laughter, sadness, anger, confusion, success, prosperity, loss, hope, desire, great expectation, comfort, resolve, colour, hunger, loneliness, community, friends, family - the states of being are infinite. BKhz’s invited artists contribute to harmony in the progress song of black people.
