    Xanthe Geyer, a Rhodes Fine Art Masters student created a nostalgic moment for art lovers at the 1820 Settlers Monument last week.

    In her Masters exhibition entitled Vergenoeg, named after her family’s farm in the Free State (and which in Afrikaans means “far enough”) Geyer explores her family’s heritage through old black and white photographs.

    Xanthe Geyer, a Rhodes Fine Art Masters student created a nostalgic moment for art lovers at the 1820 Settlers Monument last week.

    In her Masters exhibition entitled Vergenoeg, named after her family’s farm in the Free State (and which in Afrikaans means “far enough”) Geyer explores her family’s heritage through old black and white photographs.

    She says the photographs presented her with a process of constructing her identity as an individual within a family she doesn’t know much about.

    “The process of carefully selecting particular photographs and re-representing the images in a way that I myself can associate with has lead me to create a dynamic collective series of work,” she said.
