Rory Doepel curates Bones and Bytes: Healing and Revealing as part of the Urban Futures 2000 international conference, Johannesburg. This large-scale exhibition looks at the relationship between Western and indigenous knowledge systems, technology and the body. The larger exhibition programme includes the Downtown Video Focus, curated by Brad Hammond.
An entry from the timeline included in the exhibition Dada South? Experimentation, Radicalism and Resistance (2009–2010) at the Iziko National Gallery, which proposed connections between art production in South Africa and abroad against the social and political contexts that framed them. A revised version of this timeline was later featured in the retroactive Flight Paths (2011) exhibition guide commissioned by Clare Butcher.
