Bonolo Kavula
In 2020, Bonolo Kavula was selected for the Tomorrows/Today section curated by Nkule Mabaso and Luigi Fassi at Investec Cape Town Art Fair.
This presentation marked her first appearance at ICTAF and her debut within the Tomorrows/Today platform, the section dedicated to emerging and underrepresented artists. Tomorrows/Today at Investec Cape Town Art Fair is widely recognised for identifying significant new voices in contemporary art, and Kavula’s inclusion positioned her practice within a focused curatorial framework attentive to material experimentation and critical inquiry.
At ICTAF 2020, Bonolo Kavula presented works that examine systems of labour, value and knowledge production through processes grounded in repetition, handwork and structural accumulation. Her practice navigates the threshold between textile traditions and conceptual abstraction, generating surfaces that operate simultaneously as image, object and field.
Her participation in Tomorrows/Today at Investec Cape Town Art Fair 2020 established an important milestone in her professional trajectory, reinforcing her visibility within the international discourse surrounding emerging contemporary African artists.
