An exhibition at Nel Gallery, Cape Town, July 2022.

Formed by the four artists Gillian Rosselli, Martina Gruber, Tosca Marthinus and Neena Borrill in February 2022, M I L K was founded as an art collective to articulate self-expression, using their own bodies as a means to convey their individual messages. The topic of gender identity and sexuality is prevalent in their works, done with the intention to bring awareness as to what it means to exist as a queer person/couple in a predominantly conservative environmental upbringing and traditional setting.

‘The body of Gruber’s work on exhibition can be classified as landscapes, some photos have people, but may fall into the same category because of the primary focus on texture, reflections, and mood.’ (NYADZOMBE NYAMPENZA)
