Bring Back Lost Love, a solo exhibition by Kemang Wa Lehulere. Encompassing sculptures, drawings, and installation, Bring Back Lost Love is conceived as a symphony that excavates personal and collective memory, real and imagined, to address neglected or discarded narratives of South African history. Through a retelling of stories that traverse fact and fiction, the exhibition invokes questions of land ownership and migration in relation to the various legislations that violently disinherited black South Africans of land. Bring Back Lost Love evidences Wa Lehulere’s process of unearthing as a strategy for historiographic disruption and critique. To ‘bring back’ is not only to return, but to exhume, retrieve, and reinstate.
Suspended within the central exhibition space is the installation titled Black Forest. Describing the works, Wa Lehulere states,
