This exhibition presents a new body of work by Ndako Nghipandulwa, bringing together his signature nail-and-string technique with discarded road signs collected through his work in civil engineering. Drawing on years spent alongside construction crews across Namibia, Nghipandulwa turns his attention to the everyday workers whose labour quietly shapes the country’s built environment. Rather than idealising manual labour, the works reflect on dignity, purpose and the value of honest work in a culture increasingly focused on achievement and recognition. Through familiar signs transformed into spaces for reflection, Signs of the Times invites viewers to reconsider how we define meaningful work, and whether its value lies in being seen and celebrated, or simply in the act of doing it well.
This exhibition presents a new body of work by Lynette Musukubili, comprising intricately crocheted tapestries and sculptural forms made from reclaimed plastic bags. Rooted in the artist’s present-day experiences, the works trace the memories, relationships and everyday encounters shaping her life in Windhoek. Through the slow, meditative process of crochet, Musukubili transforms discarded plastic into richly textured vessels of memory, allowing a material with a history of its own to gather new meaning. Together, the works invite viewers to reflect on the stories held within ordinary materials and the ways our experiences continually shape who we are becoming.
