We are excited to present a new exhibition featuring the work “Sugared Land/s” (2019) by Sancintya Mohini Simpson. “Sugared Land/s” will be on show at Composite from 17 May until 10 June 2023.

Sancintya Mohini Simpson is a descendant of indentured labourers sent from India to work on colonial sugar plantations in South Africa. Her work navigates the complexities of migration, memory, and trauma—addressing gaps and silences within the colonial archive. Simpson’s work moves between painting, video, poetry, and performance to develop narratives and construct rituals that reflect on her maternal lineage.
