Zizipho Poswa — iMbewu (The Seed)

Zizipho Poswa — iMbewu (The Seed)
Ten-year survey of hand-coiled clay filling Southern Guild's new Tribeca space through September. Xhosa women's daily labor — the carried load, the braided crown, the lobola negotiation — built into monuments the Met, LACMA and the Art Institute bought while the wider room wasn't looking. Clay as archive, not material. Monograph landed July 1. The window between institutional conviction and public heat is where taste moves first.
