KYOTOGRAPHIE (Kyoto International Photography Festival)
Higashihonganji O-genkan
Kyoto
Curated by Marina Paulenka. For Johannesburg-based artist Lebohang Kganye, storytelling unfolds in a layered practice across words, photography, sculpture, and oral history. Memory is a gesture repeated, a shadow returning across time; it rehearses itself in light, in paper, in wood. In Rehearsal of Memory, Lebohang Kganye presents a constellation of four major bodies of work that explore how families, nations, and identities are shaped by absence, inheritance, and imagination. Across photography, cut-out silhouettes, diorama lightboxes, patchwork fabric, and sculptural interventions, the exhibition transforms personal archives into immersive, living spaces where the past and present coexist.
