The artworks that comprise this exhibition are the product of an on-going research project that Sorrel Hofmann has been engaged with for a number of years: an examination of the place and space occupied by women on the African continent. Specifically, these works, made in Cape Town and in retrospect, reflect a residency undertaken a little over a year ago by the artist at Sefrou, an ancient town that lies at the edge of the Atlas Mountains, 30 kilometres southeast of Fez in Morocco,The exhibition consists of a large series of paintings, drawings, prints and sculptural installations that reflect on her experiences of non-touristic travel through the Sahara and. over the Atlas Mountains as well as extensive discussions with women she met with, in an attempt to understand the position that they occupy and have occupied in Moroccan history.
