The Edge of Resistance
RMB Latitudes Art Fair 2025 – Group Exhibition
In The Edge of Resistance, six artists—Mncedi Madolo, Mario Soares, Hannelie Taute, SYNC (Shani Ynclan), Andrew Mogridge, and Claire Lichtenstein—stand at the threshold of rupture and reinvention. Their practices are marked by bold refusals: of inherited narratives, fixed identities, and material conventions. Together, they chart a visual terrain where resistance is not only political—it is personal, spiritual, and deeply embodied.
Whether through Madolo’s densely collaged cityscapes, Taute’s stitched subversions in reclaimed rubber, Soares’ tactile reflections on ancestry and healing, or SYNC’s fierce interrogations of cultural duality and existential doubt, each artist asserts presence in spaces where it has historically been denied. Mogridge’s conceptual strategies and Lichtenstein’s layered ecologies further complicate the relationship between order and entropy, structure and intuition.
This exhibition inhabits the moment before transformation—where friction lives, where ideas clash, and where new forms are forged. The Edge of Resistance is not an endpoint. It is a threshold—a place where creation begins with refusal.
