On the occasion of the second HEAT Winter Arts Festival, RESERVOIR presents a curated group exhibition titled Frequencies of the Otherwise, with work by:

Chuma Adam | Bella Knemeyer | Gareth Nyandoro | Thato Makatu | Yonela Makoba | Mia Thom | Marsi van de Heuvel | Morné Visagie

Frequencies of the Otherwise opens alongside 16 exhibitions across the city of Cape Town. Join us Wednesday, 6 August 2025, 18:00 - 21:00 at RESERVOIR, 7th Floor, Bree Castle House, 68 Bree Street.

“Taking inspiration from Tina M. Campt’s concept of “listening to images”,

the exhibition considers how marks - on paper, in space, across skin or

history - might carry the frequencies of lives lived otherwise. Campt invites

us to listen for the whispered, the withheld. Likewise, these artists trace

what has been silenced or fractured - not to resolve it, but to hold space for

its presence.”
