Revolutionary Care

Revolutionary Care is a daily act of resistance through love, boundary-setting, self-determination, and visionary dreaming. This exhibition brings together three artists who each demonstrate and articulate care in their own distinct visual languages. Through practices of individual and collective care, and by activating the power of generative and restorative healing, this exhibition opens a gateway—calls us to imagine and build a society rooted in liberation and a pathway toward freedom. Care is both an inheritance and a revolutionary future, carried forward in the gesture of making. 

“Care is found in the softness of my grandmother’s skin, the tenor of my mother’s voice, and my daughter whispering”. Amber Doe’s work symbolizes an antidote, a protection spell against historic and contemporary imperial violence. Her practice offers redress for the weary and exhausted. These material offerings—textile—form her eternal, indefatigable grammar.

Bekezela Mguni’s work slows us down into the rhythm that caregiving demands. Her practice is a meditation on love, devotion and memory—an act of listening for her great-grandmother’s voice and rearticulating it through the work of her own hands. Through bookmaking, collage, sewing, and printmaking, Mguni tends to personal and ancestral memory while envisioning expansive, collective possibilities of care. 

Alisha B Wormsley’s practice is a ceremonial covenant, a mutual vow to protect and care for one another. It asserts that cultural repair cannot be separated from spiritual healing, from care for the Earth, or from honoring the ancestral weavers who came before us. Her installation work envisions a future of wholeness, a dream rooted in the present, manifested through movement, ritual, and collective remembering.

This exhibition is part of Handwork 2026.
