In December 2009, sisters and artists Katy and Rebecca Beinart embarked on a journey by ship, which retraced the route of their ancestors from Eastern Europe to South Africa. They then had a 3 month residency at Greatmore Studios in Cape Town and the University of Stellenbosch, investigating their cultural heritage and interweaving it with other’s stories. During the residency, they created a series of works which built on the experiences of the journey. For the exhibition at Artlink, a combination of works made in South Africa and new works created for Hull will be showing, including large photographic prints, film, sculpture and installation. Hull was a stopping place en route from Russia to South Africa for the artist’s great-grandparents, and they are inviting people to join their live performance work, “Though I have missed you so very much”, which is a walking tour based on postcards and letters sent back and forth to Hull, as part of Humber Mouth, the Hull Literature Festival.
