Listen to an insightful conversation between contemporary artist Lulama Wolf and Fatoş Üstek, writer, curator and author of 'The Art Institution of Tomorrow' – a forthcoming book scheduled for publication in April 2024. The conversation coincided with Lulama Wolf's exhibition 'Common Effort,' in dialogue with works by Sonja Ferlov Mancoba, at Eighteen Gallery.

Covering everything from Wolf's unique approach to colour and figuration, to the influence of folklore and art history in her works, to what it means to have an introspective relationship with the world around you, this conversation between artist and curator was truly a highlight from the Talks Programme at CHART 2023.

Lulama Wolf is an artist who lives and works in Johannesburg, South Africa. At the intersection of Neo-Expressionism and Modern African Art, Wolf interrogates the precolonial African experience through the contemporary mind by using smearing, scraping, and deep pigment techniques that were used in vernacular architecture, and the patterns created largely by women to decorate traditional African homes.
