Tracey Rose: Shooting down Babylon
23 Feb 2024 — 11 Aug 2024 at Kunstmuseum Bern
· Bern
Shooting down Babylon brings together works by Tracey Rose, one of South Africa's most compelling and internationally recognised contemporary artists. Known for her fearless engagement with race, gender, the body, and post-colonial identity, Rose creates visceral, often confrontational works across video, performance, photography, and installation.
The exhibition invites viewers to reckon with histories of oppression and resistance, filtered through Rose's singular artistic vision — by turns poetic, irreverent, and deeply political.
