- Artist
Sue Williamson is an artist whose work engages with themes related to trauma, memory and identity formation. Trained as a printmaker, Williamson also works in photography, video, and installation. Work such as The Last Supper Revisited (1993), and Truth Games (1998) convey her investment in the recuperation and interrogation of South African history. Her work is included in such collections as MoMA, (New York), the Tate Modern (London), and the Pompidou Centre (Paris). Most recently, she exhibited on the Kochi-Muziris Biennale in India, and from June, her work will be seen at the National Museum of African Art in Washington DC on I Am: Contemporary Women Artists from Africa. Williamson is also known for her writing on contemporary art, and her achievements were recognised with an Ellen Kuzwayo Award (2018). Her own work is documented in Sue Williamson: Life and Work (SKIRA). She is represented by the Goodman Gallery.
