South African artist Faith XLVII’s exhibition, 'Venarum Mundi,' which translates to 'veins of the world,' explores the interconnections between cartography, currency, and national symbols. Using old maps, discontinued currency, and flags, she creates elaborate tapestries that serve as a commentary on economic and geopolitical structures that define our global landscape. The exhibition aims to provoke thought on how these elements shape our understanding of value and history. It will be displayed at Heron Arts in San Francisco from June 28 to August 2, emphasizing the continuing relevance of these traditional symbols in a modern context.
