'Onthaal Onthul'

Naretha Pretorius' explores the dual notions of her exhibition title: 'Onthaal Onthul' in her upcoming show at artSpace Durban. ‘Onthaal’ refers to a social occasion where friends, acquaintances or a community gather; in many cases it is a celebration of something, or a festivity.  ‘Onthaal’ can also refer to a formal function or reception, an event guided by etiquette principles of how it should be conducted and  structured.  ‘Onthaal’ is also to welcome people.

‘Onthul’ is to reveal something, to point something out, to disclose or to expose something.  It can also mean to lay bare one’s heart. The exhibition is a multi-disciplinary show featuring drawings, castings, installations and etchings.
