In her interview with The Brooklyn Rail, South African artist Gabrielle Goliath speaks with Amadour about her emotionally charged, sound- and performance-based practice, which centres on themes of gendered violence, memory, and collective mourning. The conversation coincides with her exhibition at Dallas Contemporary—her first US institutional solo show—where she presents immersive works like This song is for… and Elegy. Goliath explains how she uses ritual, repetition, and sound to create spaces of communal reflection and healing, foregrounding the voices and experiences of survivors. Her powerful contemporary art practice stands at the intersection of feminist politics, decolonial thinking, and sonic experimentation, marking her as a significant voice in global art today.
