Artists are invited from different parts of the continent and the world, and through their work we can explore, examine, interrogate, question, view and experience the present. Exhibition making as a Rehearsal: positioning the Triennale as a rehearsal for the actions and changes we aspire to enact in the real world. This exhibition is a rehearsal for breathing — Breathing is holy. Art becomes an infrastructure of care, posing the question: if death is the given condition, how do we prepare to live? 

Through this Triennale, we aim to map out pathways for Breathing by inviting artists to make works on-site in Stellenbosch that attend to breath and breathlessness thus entering a  Rehearsal as Improvised people. BA’ZINZILE: A REHEARSAL FOR BREATHING invites you to explore these themes, engage in the practice of insistence and find stillness and sustained breath amidst chaos.
