Gabrielle Goliath

“The single note in Elegy is equal parts clarion call and durational rejection of mourning’s expected temporality. The performativity of Goliath’s practice lies in its metabolic urgency: its response to the necrographic commitment to one another, and to the dead whose memory comprises the shared memorial responsibility of the living.”

Zoé Samudzi

…

“In the yet unquashed Elegy, breath moves from body to body, a fragile continuity carried in the shared labour of lungs. When one voice thins or trembles, another takes up the note, refusing extinction. The work insists on the embodied grievability of lives that structures of power would consign to the margins, restoring them to presence through the simple, radical act of collective breath.”

Heidi Thembeka Sincuba

…

“The gallery becomes a space where presence is measured not by what is said but by what is felt, where empathy and attention are active, necessary acts. Attendees leave with a heightened awareness of how much meaning exists in the unsaid, how resilience is expressed in gesture as much as in voice. This is an exhibition that lingers beyond the gallery walls, insisting that the quietest moments often speak most powerfully. Goliath reveals the extraordinary force of attention itself.”
