Alia

AVA Exhibition: Temperamental (Group Show)| 24.04.25 - 05.06.25

Alia’s (b. 2002, South Africa) practice convolutes a laborious movement through location(less) spaces organised within large installations and ambient collages of sound. Maneuvering between decay and sustenance, her work encounters an assertion of material agency and ethics of care. To speak-with and re-member the deaths, labour and grief, situated as a passage or site of conquest, as to navigate the residues of her familial histories. Alia investigates the structures or agendas of a ‘postapartheid’ and ‘postcolonial’, through practiced Cape Muslim rituals.
