Gabrielle Goliath Strikes a Tuning Fork of Dissent

On January 22, artist Gabrielle Goliath and curator Ingrid Masondo filed a founding affidavit in the High Court of South Africa in Pretoria, stating their intention to challenge South African Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture Gayton McKenzie's unilateral decision to terminate the video and performance series, Elegy, at its national pavilion at the 2026 Venice Biennale. McKenzie had attempted to characterize Goliath's piece, which would have centered Palestinians enduring genocide in Gaza, as "highly divisive" and not aligned with South Africa's interests - even though the country famously brought a legal case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague over allegations of genocide in Gaza.

But the most startling event was the couples competition, which featured a pair of male skaters, dressed in camouflage, with tape over their mouths in an "X"-a direct protest against the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. The couple who followed them-two shirtless men, around the same height, alternately lifting each other up and rolling over each other with playful, affectionate aggression-struck me as equally political, suggesting not just what was banned but what was possible.
