25m2 + a gallerist, 2018

At her final presentation at the Frank Mohr Instituut Nokukhanya Langa showed a flag reading "Forty acres + a mule", a text that refers to a promise made in the United States for agrarian reform for former enslaved black farmers by Union General William Tecumseh Sherman on January 16, 1865. This idea was apparently meant as a kind of help for 'freedmen'; it was never realized, though. For the solo presentation in Galerie van Gelder & AP Nokukhanya Langa was invited to use the AP space of 25 m2 and made a variant of the flag 'Forty acres + a mule'. For the solo presentation at Galerie van Gelder & AP Nokukhanya, Langa was invited to show her work in the AP area of 25 m2 after leaving the Frank Mohr Institute, for which she had made a variant of the flag 'Forty acres + a mule'.
