Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum: It Will End In Tears

25 Nov 2024

We sat down with artist Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum to find out more about what inspired her exhibition It Will End in Tears and how the unique space of our free gallery, The Curve, facilitates storytelling.

Combining set build and paintings, the exhibition tells the story of Bettina, a femme fatale character living in an imagined colonial outpost. We find out what happens when she rejects the rules dictated to her by society – is her story a happy story or a sad story? ‘There is never this kind of tidy end or tidy beginning and even people, characters, archetypes are never one or another thing.’ What better setting for this story than the ‘liminal space’ of The Curve, filled with film set installations that both direct and disorient you.

Experience the exhibition for free in The Curve, until 5 Jan.
