In Reflections of a Queen, visual artist Kganya Mogashoa presents a powerful continuation of her acclaimed Sheroes Rands series, first launched in 2023. While Sheroes Rands reimagined women’s representation on banknotes and coins, challenging how society assigns value to women’s contributions, this new body of work dives deeper into the lived realities, spiritual depths, and historical presence of women across generations from different geographical locations.

At its core, Reflections of a Queen is a visual testimony - an offering of truth in a world where Black history has too often been dislodged from statute books, sidelined in curricula, and erased from mainstream narratives. Mogashoa’s art becomes a form of preservation - documenting stories, honouring biblical wisdom, and restoring what has been systemically forgotten. Through each portrait, the artist reclaims cultural space, embedding history back into public consciousness through visual language.

This exhibition is both a celebration and an act of resistance. Mogashoa addresses the daily injustices faced by women - gender-based violence, economic exclusion, and social invisibility - and transformes them into layered works of reverence and protest. Her use of African textiles and sacred symbols speaks to legacy, faith, and the richness of identity beyond imposed limitations.

The exhibition is on display from 26 June to 31 July 202
