Focus: Exhibitions, Research, Curatorial Practice, Knowledge, Public Art, Performance, Archives, Biennales and Festivals

The Center for Historical Reenactments (CHR) is a Johannesburg based independent platform. CHR explores how artistic production helps us to deconstruct particular readings of history and how historical context informs artistic creation, both which become central questions. How art can help us reinterpret history and its contextual implications and how it can add and suggest different historical readings and help in the formation of new subjectivities.
