Rooms of Resonance, CAPE TOWN
Cape Town, South Africa — Montague Contemporary, in partnership with The Cape Cadogan Hotel, proudly presents "Rooms of Resonance," a transformative contemporary African art exhibition featuring the works of Marc Standing, Miska Mohammed, Wole Lagunju, Mongezi Ncaphayi, and Birhane Worede. Running from February 22 through March 20, 2025, the exhibition engages with themes of transience, identity, and cultural exchange within the intimate yet shifting environment of the boutique hotel.

Inspired by Gaston Bachelard’s The Poetics of Space, the exhibition reimagines the hotel as a “house of thresholds”—a place of passage and transformation, where each artist’s work occupies a metaphorical room, inviting viewers into a rich dialogue on the fluidity of place, belonging, and memory. The hotel, a site of temporary residence and continuous movement, serves as an ideal setting for this dynamic engagement, where contemporary African artists challenge and expand notions of identity, tradition, and connection.

By transforming the hotel into a living gallery of personal and collective narratives, "Rooms of Resonance" seeks to bridge the transient with the permanent, offering audiences an immersive encounter with contemporary African art that is both deeply personal and globally relevant.
