About the Item

Ann Gollifer is a visual artist whose practice includes painting, print-making, writing and photography. She has lived and worked in Botswana for 30 years and has travelled extensively throughout the country gathering images and words from the people and places she has encountered. She is interested in the disparate communities she meets and their relationships to one another and the landscapes in which they are embedded. Everyone has a story to tell but often not the means to communicate, expand and develop the details. Ann’s work is an attempt to reveal diverse histories. “My role as an artist is to search, discover and communicate personal histories and their relationships to a collective human memory. My wish is to remind myself constantly that we are all connected by our common humanity and to celebrate the landscapes from which we have emerged and the multifarious environments in which we live.” My job is to make artwork that concerns the human condition, hopefully initiating dialogues that further respect and empathy between people. I see my work as relevant to current, contemporary, international visual art discourse and therefore I make every effort to be part of that conversation. In 1989 there was a group of visual artists in Botswana that came together to form a team led by Veryan Edwards. Veryan pioneered the concept of the international artists workshops in Botswana, under the auspices of the Triangle International Artists Workshops. These workshops ran from 1989 to 2002 more or less. From 1989 to 1995 the workshops involved an annual gathering of artists from all over the world together with a core group of artists living and working in Botswana. This core group involved both Batswana artists and non-Batswana resident artists living and working in Botswana. Apart from this annual international workshop, the team also organised smaller workshops throughout the year. Established artists led these smaller workshops, many coming from the Triangle network in South Africa with the support and facilitation of local artists in Botswana. The workshops were perfect venues for sharing ideas about why we make art, in terms of concept and origination and how we go about making it in terms of technique and materials. They were also fertile ground for building friendships between artists that in some cases have lasted a lifetime. The workshops were also important spaces for networking on an international level. Artists from Botswana, both Batswana and non-Batswana resident artists were encouraged to attend both regional and international workshops and residencies. There were residency venues in South Africa, The Bag factory in Johannesburg, Greatmore Studios in Cape Town and the Gas Works in London. There were workshops like Tupelo in South Africa, Pachipamwe in Zimbabwe, Tulipamwe in Namibia, Mbile in Zambia, Thapong in Botswana. The network stretched across the world from the USA and Canada to the UK and all the way to Australia and back! This initiative eventually led to the building of the Thapong Visual Art Centre. Thapong is where I met artists from all over the world, who taught me how to think about and how to make artwork in new and exciting ways. There is no better teacher for an artist than another artist. Thapong provided the networks I needed to start my journeys here at home and eventually across borders. I met the wonderful Cameroonian artist Goddy Leye, Lutanda Mwamba and Baba Jaak, Zambian print-maker, sculptor and performance artists, the British painter Vanessa Jackson, Pat Mautloa and David Koloane of Johannesburg and so many others whose influence and support has made me the artist I am. In every city around the world there are contemporary art scenes, some larger or smaller, some loud, some quiet, some visible in the mainstream, some invisible, some alive and thriving and some dying. The ones that are vibrant and growing are those that are inclusive: Johannesburg, Harare, Windhoek, Maputo, New York, London, Berlin. In all these places you find many nationalities, ethnicities, peoples, working cheek by jowl, together and apart, clamouring to be heard in competition and in community. One of the main reasons that I decided to work within the visual arts was because the discipline offered a space where differences must mingle in order to create relevant current dialogues. The visual arts and arts in general must create that space and they cannot if they are ruled by discrimination, jealousy and fear.
