au revoir convenes the legacies of Sonja Ferlov, Ernest, and Wonga Mancoba with twelve recipients of the Ferlov Mancoba Grant. It does so not to establish lineage but to stage resonance. The exhibition resists inheritance as a closed system. Instead, it approaches art as a practice of relation - porous, unfinished, and collective. For the Mancobas, form was inseparable from spirituality and communal life. Against this ground, the participating artists unfold metamorphic constructions across different media. They articulate gestures that mark continuity as something fragmented, embodied, and precarious. What emerges is continuity understood as a fragile labour, a provisional architecture of relation. Here, art insists on keeping bonds - spiritual, ecological, social - alive even amid rupture, exile, or erosion. Each work stands as guardians, asking how memory can be protected, while still opening onto futures not yet imagined.

The exhibition is presented by the Ferlov Mancoba Foundation, which represents the artistic estates of Sonja Ferlov Mancoba (1911–1984), Ernest Mancoba (1904–2002), and Wonga Mancoba (1946–2015). Each year, the Foundation supports contemporary practice through its grant—artists whose work extends the legacy of resistance, collectivity, and transformation.

"Here, au revoir is less a goodbye than a suspension - art that nurtures connections across past and present." - Rune Finseth, curator
