Elegy is a ritual performance and installation project by Gabrielle Goliath that gathers collective acts of mourning around lives and histories marked by violence, erasure and structural loss. Developed over more than a decade, it has been staged in Johannesburg, Cape Town, São Paulo, Paris, Amsterdam, Munich and beyond, and arrives in London following the cancellation of the South African Pavilion in Venice. Installed in the sonic chamber of Ibraaz's Minassa, voices and moving images immerse audiences in a space of mourning, kinship and collective care. Addressing rape culture and femicide in South Africa, the genocide of Ovaherero and Nama peoples in Namibia and the ongoing devastation of Palestinian life, it proposes mourning as a sustained practice of collective presence.
