editor’s letter
I was sitting with the HL team in Cape Town when the news broke that opera singer Montserrat Caballé had passed away. I know my team is super trendy and would rather listen to Moonchild Sanelly or Nonku Phiri – but still, I was shocked that not everyone knew who she was! I quickly found a video of Caballé’s and Freddie Mercury’s 1988 performance of their duet ‘Barcelona’. Oh, I’m aware that she performed other pieces that reflect her talent far better, but I love their collaborative show. Plus, I needed to introduce her in as cool a way as possible, and I hoped the Freddie appeal would give her some street cred. In the clip, Freddie is in a skinny ’80s suit and cummerbund, and Montserrat is draped…

trend 03 responsible foraging
HEAD My creative process starts with a sensory experience in nature that’s sparked by a memory, the scent of a flower, or the sight of the moon, the sea or a captivating landscape. If I need new inspiration, I go for a long walk to free my mind of domestic thoughts and allow for the natural environment to work its magic. MOUTH I use my mouth to taste and teach.

This includes anything wild, fresh, seasonal, delicious and covered in edible flowers. EARS My ears are for listening…
trend 04 immersive installations
Kemang Wa Lehulere uses performance, sculpture, drawing, painting and other media to create hauntingly affecting installations that excavate marginalised histories and personal narratives – what he calls the ‘deleted scenes’ of South African history.His visual language incorporates a set of recurring found objects such as ceramic dogs, school desks, bones, pencils, music stands and bird houses, which he repurposes into sculptural installations. Each of these inanimate pieces carries its own symbolic resonance, but by bringing them together and into dialogue with one another, Wa Lehulere offers the possibility of multiple narratives being contained within each one. When orchestrated together, like the notes of a score, they tell a complex story that incorporates many voices, ideas and histories.History is a central theme in Wa Lehulere’s work, which engages with the…
