“Whether creating installations, comics, video, or entertaining through stand-up, she approaches her work bravely.”
What was meant to be an artist’s room presentation for the Kimberley-born and -raised Kavula became a solo exhibition, proposed by the gallery director Baylon Sandri. In our conversation, Kavula mentions her grandfather Ntate Sewedi, whom she greatly admired, and he adored her. This was a relationship I recognised as a black girl growing up in the township and spending time with my own grandfather.
Her excellence and discipline and her place in the South African contemporary art arena is illustrated in hersolo exhibition at the Norval Foundation. The show features work Kavula describes as inspired by her encounters with the spirit world. Titled, Lewatle, it reflects that she is able to deep dive into her own conception of printmaking.
