‘They’ Virtual Exhibit by BHELE GALLERY

Bhele Gallery is an alter of the Transdisciplinary Practitioner, Bongo Mei, who has 15 years experience as an Art Practitioner. Gallery has been existing and practising for 10 years as an apprentice of Mei. Gallery prefers the pronoun, They. They are an individual collective as described by this alter, where they include 10 other alters who are also Art practitioners;

• Bongo Mei (Male)_ Transdisciplinary Practitioner
• Belhe Meu (Male)_ Conceptual Designer
• Vuyisile Xoliswa (Female)_ Prose Poet & Performer
• Sifo Nokufa Butikazi (Non- Binary)_ Witch Artist
• Sebe Gqozo Ciskei (Male)_Archival Artist
• Bongo Money (Male)_ Kitsch Artist
• Ms Fortune & Ms Fit (Female Twins)_ Digital Conceptual Artists
• Ntanda Loft (Male) _ Post Artist
• Amen (Non-Binary) _ Post Artist

They call themselves an individual collective because they exist within one body but are cognitively separated. When one alter is in control, the others are completely nonexistent, others are not even aware of their relatives, they don’t know each other, much like people and humanity. They further describe the situation as that of actors and the different characters they play for a show. Or how humans change characters with different environments, like when one is in a professional space they don’t behave the same way as when in a social gathering, or when with family or in a spiritual institution or engaged in a hedonistic practice, like sexual intercourse. They interpret their dissociative ability as normal but it is naively understood. They regard themselves as highly intelligent and honest with reality. The artworks of the exhibit are inspired by this individual collective and how they perceive cognitive comprehension.

ALL physical artworks displayed were purposefully destroyed for the purpose of presenting them as original digital prints
