Apollo 40 2026
“Gabrielle Goliath is perhaps best-known for her long-standing series of performance works titled ‘Elegy’ (2015–), in which a group of female vocal performers maintain a single note over the course of an hour, with each taking their place to sing on a podium until they can sing no more, at which point they are relieved of duty by one of their collaborators. Conceived as an act of collective ritual mourning … the work epitomises Goliath’s conceptually profound yet immaculately tender approach to one of the most harrowing realities of life in contemporary South Africa: the prevalence of gender-based violence.”
