Summary:
"Spanning from a high-school drawing from 1990 to current video work, the works collected in this exhibition enable one to engage deeply with Rose's practice. [...] Shooting Down Babylon traces her trajectory from earlier interests in expanding narrow identity tropes to aesthetics of violence, her subversive performative interventions and her recent interest in rituals and processes of healing. The exhibition also includes ten new commissions that form part of Rose's Mandela Balls series (2013-ongoing), in which she investigates complexities around post-aparteid aftermaths and liberation movements." -- Introduction, page 23
