The Hepworth Wakefield’s range of Igshaan Adams’ prints and t-shirts is inspired by Adams’ collaboration with the Garage Dance Ensemble, a dance group based in Okiep within South Africa’s Northern Cape Province. As part of a series of workshops, the dancers are encouraged to intuitively interact with a large canvas covered in wet paint, leaving behind traces, and creating abstract paint marks with their bodies. The resulting ‘paintings’ serve as inspiration for the tapestries Adams creates in his studio. 

Igshaan Adams: Weerhoud, a solo exhibition by the South African artist, is on display at The Hepworth Wakefield from 22 June to 3 November 2024. The exhibition examines the impact of lived experiences and traumas on the human psyche, with a particular emphasis on the healing potential of movement.
