We are pleased to share “Marvellous Realism”, an exhibition supported by the KT Wong Foundation, featuring works by South African artist Mary Sibande.
First presented at Fotografiska Shanghai, the exhibition forms part of a broader curatorial focus on contemporary African photography and visual culture, bringing together artists whose practices explore identity, history, memory and representation through lens-based and expanded photographic approaches.
The Shanghai presentation welcomed over 70,000 visitors, reflecting strong public engagement and growing international interest in contemporary African art.
Lady Linda Wong Davies, founder of the KT Wong Foundation and co-organizer of “Marvellous Realism” said:
“We are thrilled to have conceived this vitally important show promoting China-Africa cultural relations and collaborate with these wonderful co-curators to bring this to life - never before in Asia have we been witness to an exhibition that seeks above all to nurture greater awareness and understanding of these culturally beneficial relations through this fascinating art medium, rethink prejudices about China and Africa and promote the fertile creative potential Africa can offer to the rest of the world.” Source: Fotografiska Shanghai.
The exhibition continues its journey in Hangzhou at the Winland Cultural Centre, running from 25 April 2026 until the first week of October 2026.
