Titled after one of his most recent large wall tapestries of the same name, Freedom at Goodman Gallery, Capetown showcases a new body of work from El Anatsui which includes his category defying aluminium bottle-cap fabrics as well as a few new wood panel works that are reminiscent of an earlier phase in his achievement packed career. With these new works, El tells us intricate tales of identities and the movements of a people across paths towards freedom.
